The Most Festive Place In Every US State
Getting In The Christmas Spirit
There are a lot of fantastic cities and towns in the US throwing some truly impressive Christmas celebrations, but we've narrowed down a list of the most festive places in every state.
From the classics, like tree-lighting ceremonies and Christmas markets, to waterskiing Santas and tacky light displays, there's something for everyone on this list.
Huntsville, Alabama
Nobody celebrates the holidays quite like Huntsville, Alabama. Already a beautiful city at any time of the year, Huntsville takes things up a notch around Christmastime. Check out the Tinsel Trail, an annual display of Christmas trees in downtown Huntsville’s Big Spring Park, or the Galaxy of Lights display at the Huntsville Botanical Garden.
North Pole, Alaska
What, were you expecting something else? Not only is North Pole, AK probably the most festive place in the US year-round, it’s especially special in December, as attractions like the Santa Claus House and the city’s post office are extra decked out.

Lake Havasu City, Arizona
Who says you need a thick layer of snow to feel festive? What Lake Havasu City lacks in flakes, it makes up for with beautiful twinkling lights during their annual Festival of Lights—which is only amplified by reflections from the water of Lake Havasu.
Little Rock, Arkansas
Though plenty of homes throughout Little Rock go all out, the State Capitol building is a true sight to behold at the holidays. It’s festooned in lights outside and houses an impressively decorated tree inside.
