US News recently conducted a survey of the top states that love Christmas. Washington, California, and Hawaii topped the list. South Dakota, Utah, Missouri and Maine also came through the top 10. 

But what makes these states an excellent place to bask in the holiday Spirit? Aside from vast Christmas tree farms that dot these states, Christmas music streaming everywhere, and people’s excitement showing through their tweets, it is in the states that you can find towns that literally transform into winter wonderlands!

Here are our top three picks for the most delightful and magical places to visit this yuletide season.

1. Leavenworth

Leavenworth was dubbed as the Christmas Town, and every year, hundreds of people gather to witness the annual festival of lights. Every corner with a thousand, brightly colored Christmas lights. There are even live performances for choirs, carolers and bands. Of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas if there’s no Santa Claus to take pictures with! Truly, Leavenworth is a town brimming with the holiday spirit.

2. Spokane

Spokane truly looks like an enchanted winter wonderland every Christmas with its evergreen trees covered in white snow. But Christmas in Spokane never feels cold. As glowing lights seemingly burn against the white snows, the winter activities in this town will keep your spirits warm. Be sure to check out the market at River Park Square.

3. Stanwood

The list will not be complete without Stanwood, famous for their Lights of Christmas event. Treat yourself to spectacular light displays, interact with costumed characters, and feast on the yummy snacks in this one-of-a-kind event that has become a holiday tradition for many families.
