Spending the holidays in AZ at the Little America Hotel in Flagstaff is a tradition that many families look forward to year after year. It's a place that offers something for everyone who visits.

The hotel gets completely decked out for the Christmas season, with perfectly trimmed-up trees in the lobby and twinkling lights galore (both indoors and out)! In fact, it's one of the best places to visit during the holidays in AZ.

You may even run into Santa and Mrs. Claus — and perhaps even enjoy breakfast with them on select dates through Christmas Eve.

Not only does Little America go all-out in terms of holiday décor, but it's also located in a full-blown winter wonderland. Flagstaff is the snowiest town in Arizona, and the hotel boasts its very own, 500-acre private forest — winter hike, anyone?

What truly sets the Little America apart from all other hotels during the holiday season is the North Pole Experience.

Powered by the spirit of Christmas, a holly jolly trolley whisks passengers away on a magical journey to the North Pole, where Santa and his elves are busy preparing for Christmas Eve.

This immersive experience lets you build toys in Santa's workshop, tour the "Toy Hall of Fame," eat cookies, and so much more.

All ages will experience feelings of pure joy as Santa's elves show off their high-tech reindeer tracking equipment. You'll even get the opportunity to attend Elf University and learn all the ins and outs of what it takes to be one of Santa's trusty helpers.

Of course, plenty of one-on-one time with Santa is included in the experience. Make sure to tell him everything you want for Christmas!
