It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Montana, especially now that most of the state has had its first (and second) snowfall. Between our winter weather and some of our public spaces decking their halls, there are a few spots in our beautiful state that could easily pass for the North Pole. Enjoy!

The Resort at Paws Up transforms into a magical Christmas village each year, complete with visits from Santa himself.

3. Brookside Yard Cafe, Bigfork
