Wrightwood, The One Christmas Town In Southern California That’s Simply A Must Visit This Season

When Christmas rolls around in SoCal, there's one place everyone heads for the season where the holidays really come to life - the mountains. Although there are plenty of places in the mountains where holiday magic is alive, there's one spot, in particular, that really stands out. Come along as we show you why we think that Wrightwood is perhaps the best Christmas town in Southern California.

Looking for the ultimate Christmas town where the holiday season is pure magic?

We think this small mountain town in Southern California is just what you need this winter.

Only a short drive from Los Angeles, just shy of 80 miles in the San Gabriel Mountains, the town of Wrightwood is quite accessible and easy to reach for most anyone in SoCal.

Wrightwood 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!

Applewood Court is definitely one spot you'll want to visit while you're here in Wrightwood this winter.

Not only is it a Christmas shop, but it is also a retail and gift store with ice cream, candy, and confections.

It is packed with all sorts of holiday décor.

While here 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 the Evergreen Café & Racoon Saloon.

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, make to see some other sights as well. During the snowy season, for example, head to nearby Jackson Lake for a picture-perfect postcard view of a white Christmas.

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.
