Pennsylvania Is Particularly Pleasant During The Holidays

What are Pennsylvania’s most stunning Christmas towns?

As one of the oldest state’s in the nation, Pennsylvania’s towns have had a lot of time to really do Christmas right. Bethlehem is America’s Christmas City and the whole place comes alive with amazing lights and it has a five-week Christkindlmarkt. If any place is a winter wonderland, this is it. Altoona hosts Holiday Lights on the Lake with 50 acres of lights and has a Santa’s Village. This place is a true Christmas town. Greensburg hosts Overly’s Country Christmas, which is a village filled with light displays, horse and buggy rides, carolers, holiday treats, and good old Santa.

What are the best winter festivals in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania is chock-full of wonderful winter events. The Reading Fire & Ice Festival brings together ice sculptures, fire performances, a chili cook-off, and two full days of other festivities. It’s one to cross off of your bucket list for sure. For some childlike fun, bring the whole family sledding at the Pithole Sledding Party in Pleasantville. Holiday treats and hot chocolate will keep you sledding all day on the multiple hills that are available. Have you ever thought, “Let’s build a snowman”? You can do just that at Snowman In The Forest at Cook Forest State Park. It’s not just snowman building, but skating, sledding, winter hikes, and more!

What are the most dazzling Christmas light displays in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania really shines when it comes to wondrous holiday light displays. Koziar’s Christmas Village in Bernville is utterly enchanting with over one million lights. It’s truly magical to see. Longwood Gardens dazzles not only with lights but with dancing fountains. The gardens are gorgeous as you stroll around being entertained by carolers. The Dutch Winter Wonderland in Lancaster is something you just can’t miss. You can take a skyway ride to see the vast expanse of mesmerizing lights and the Royal Light Show. There’s live music on hand to enhance the experience.
