Christmas In These 8 New Hampshire Towns Looks Like Something From A Hallmark Movie
The temps are chilly and many New Hampshirites are probably getting ready for the rest of winter. You see, unlike some other states, we love getting outside and enjoying the outdoors no matter what the weather. We ski, we snowshoe and keep a smile on a face no matter the weather. While all those outdoor endeavors are awesome, it’s even better when the temps drop and we have an excuse to just appreciate the small towns around us. If you love the warm feeling that comes with Christmas throughout the Granite State, you’ll want to check out these delightful towns that are the best during this time of year.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
If you're looking for a dose of Christmas in your heart, you can't beat Nashua. The Christmas Stroll rings in the season and things stay bright and twinkly all month.
Sure, this touristy town is great to visit any time of year. But, in December it comes to life with the Christmas spirit. Enjoy the festive shopping streets, but make sure to carve out some time to go ice skating at Strawberry Banke's outdoor skating rink. It's open every day in December with the exception of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Stroll down the main street in this college town and hope for snow. It's so gorgeous with a layer of the white stuff! Be sure to see the tree at the Dartmouth Green, too.
During this time of year the main street in Keene come to life with Christmas spirit. We love shopping here after dark for all the brightly lit stores and restaurants.
Head to the Castle in the Clouds for one of the most movie-ready experiences you can have. Time your visit with their yearly Christmas at the Castle even for some great photo opportunities.
We've said it before and we'll say it again - this town knows a thing or two about Christmas. With their monthlong celebration of all things Yule, YULE love spending a weekend day here. Check out the tree, but also make your way to the bridge for some wonderfully wintery photos.
The lights along Main Street in Claremont make this town shine. Make sure to visit Broad Street Park for some of the best lights and take some photos near the old Opera House.
We had to include this one! Perhaps the most iconic Christmas photo in all of New Hampshire, this small town offers some serious yuletime spirit. The covered bridge here is decked out in lights - a tradition taking back decades.
For more winter wonders head to Enfield for this incredible annual light display. It’s been going on since the 1950s!
