What are some Christmas towns in Pennsylvania?
If you are looking to enjoy the holidays to the fullest, explore some of Pennsylvania's most inspirational Christmas events and celebrations. Take a look at some of these Christmas towns in Pennsylvania that are sure to dazzle and delight you with holiday magic:

  • Bradford: Downtown Bradford with its red brick buildings and iconic clock tower epitomizes the look and feel of a great Christmas town. Throw in a few horse-drawn carriages, a dusting of snowflakes, and holiday lights and the image is complete. The holidays are always festive in Bradford with cute shops, Christmas parades, and visits from the Big Guy. Of course, catching "The Grinch" at the Main Street Movie House is always a must.
  • Canonsburg: Canonsburg's Old Fashioned Christmas is truly a Hallmark moment (the event itself is even sponsored in part by Hallmark). Drop off your letters to Santa at a special red mailbox, enjoy shopfronts decorated with old-world holiday dioramas, take part in the annual gingerbread house contest, and enjoy the town's Christmas parade. Everything you expect from a magical Christmas town you'll find in Canonsburg.
  • Bethlehem: Since we already mentioned the iconic Hotel Bethlehem, we would be remiss if we didn't include the town itself in our list of amazing Christmas towns in Pennsylvania. With a name like Bethlehem you know the Christmas tradition runs deep here. The town was even founded on Christmas Eve in 1741! The annual Christkindlmarkt is a big draw for the holidays. It is an old-world German market that opens up in late October and runs through early December. Throughout the rest of December, the town is simply gorgeous with holiday lights, horse-drawn carriage rides, food, music, and fun everywhere you turn.

If you want to experience the true joy of Christmas in Pennsylvania, hop in the car (or rent an RV from RVShare), and go on this pre-planned Christmas town road trip. You'll top off your tank with the holiday spirit in no time.
