Christmastime transforms PA into a magical wonderland of shimmering lights, spectacular decorations, and a hearty dose of holiday cheer. One city, however, stands out as the twinkliest Christmas town in Pennsylvania, and for good reason. In fact, it has consistently been named one of the top Christmas towns in the United States, most recently coming in at #12 out of the 30 top Christmas towns named by Country Living. Bethlehem, also known as the Christmas City, is the place to go to wrap yourself in the holiday spirit.
