This Rhode Island Christmas Town Is Straight Out Of A Norman Rockwell Painting

Most of us would probably agree that the whole of Rhode Island looks like an artist's masterpiece. But when you stroll through this enchanting Rhode Island Christmas town, you might feel as though you've become part of a Norman Rockwell painting. With its twinkling lights, picturesque storefronts, and shimmering Christmas trees, the charming town is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit.

Stroll along the quaint streets of historic Newport, a storybook town that becomes even more enchanting when the snow begins to fall.

Newport at Christmastime is perhaps best known for Holidays at The Newport Mansions. Marvel at elegantly-decorated mansions -The Breakers, Marble House, and The Elms - on a tour.

Explore a magical wonderland of twinkling lights at The Breakers, which hosts an outdoor, walk-thru Christmas lights display all season long. Holidays at the Newport Mansions runs through the beginning of the year.

Bowen's Wharf also transforms into a Christmas wonderland, annually hosting a Christmas tree lighting.

Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive by boat (weather-permitting), eager to greet children, listen to their Christmas wishes, and pose for photos.

Don't worry if you miss Santa at Bowen's Wharf. He appears around Newport throughout the season.

Santa's Nightly Rides give kiddos in town the chance to see Santa as he visits neighborhoods throughout Newport.

Newport boasts an entire menu of holiday fun all through December. Join such activities as a Holiday Lantern Tour of Newport with the Museum of Newport History and a holiday stroll along Franklin Street.

The Newport Marriott Hotel even hosts the town's largest gingerbread house.

With its eclectic collection of shops, Newport's also perfect for getting a bit (or all) of your Christmas shopping done.

Stop by one of the town's restaurants, too. Many serve delicious dishes and delightful views, made even prettier by the twinkling lights of the season.
