Is there a Christmas town in North Carolina?

A Christmas town in North Carolina is McAdenville.

Why yes there is, and it’s filled with light, love, and good cheer, especially when Christmas is near. It’s McAdenville, NC to you and me, but those who come from far and wide have something else to say, to them, it’s Christmastown, USA. With the biggest Christmas tree lighting you’ll ever see, plenty of hot chocolate, a parade, and of course little kiddos bouncing on Santa’s knee. Truly a Hallmark Christmas town, filled with twinkling lights, laughter, and fun, there is nothing else to say other than come on down!

Does it snow on Christmas in North Carolina?

It snows occasionally on Christmas in North Carolina.

Alas, North Carolina is a lovely pleasant mild-weather state, so snow isn’t common, even on Christmas day. That’s not to say the snowball flurry fairy doesn’t ever visit. In Charlotte, NC there has been snow four times since record-keeping began in 1878. With the blustery-est (yes we made that word up) Christmas ever being in 1947 when the city was buried in 5.8” of snow. If you are celebrating Christmas in the mountainous areas of NC you might be blessed with a snowy Christmas as snow is much more likely at higher elevations. Throughout the rest of the state in a typical year, there will be around five inches of snowfall each winter season.
