Looking for the ultimate Christmas town in SoCal where the holiday season is pure magic? We think this small mountain town in Southern California is just what you need this winter.
The town of Wrightwood, located in the San Gabriel Mountains, is cozy and charming in every way. Although it's a great spot to visit all year long, this tiny SoCal town really comes to life during the Christmas season. Especially when there's snow on the ground!
Packed with all sorts of holiday decor, this festive local shop is where you can stock up on trinkets, ornaments, and unique holiday gifts for everyone on your Christmas list.
Make sure to include a holiday present for yourself while you're here. Perhaps a new ornament to add to your tree?
Head to the main street of town and stop in for a bite to eat at Evergreen Cafe. It's hard to miss this spot in the center of town as it's all dressed up for the holidays
In addition to some pretty festive Christmas decor on the outside, step inside and you'll feel like you're inside a Christmas snow globe. With tons of holiday cheer on the walls and the ceilings, this local eatery sure knows how to bring the holidays to life.
While visiting Wrightwood, you'll have the chance to see some sights while you're here. During the snowy season, for example, head to nearby Jackson Lake for a picture-perfect postcard view of a white Christmas. We may not have snow in Wrightwood just yet, but when it falls it's the most magical thing to see. It's just one more reason that makes Wrightwood one of our favorite Christmas towns in SoCal.
