I've been to Frankenmuth, although not at Christmas time, but it was awesome. Bronners is amazing, I could have spent 1 years salary there, but had to control myself lol. There is a town called Christmas, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan also.

[@lindastradley9788]

I've not been there at Christmas time but first discovered it when my husband and I took a detour from Ellensburg to avoid a major traffic incident that had traffic stopped on I-90, on our way up to British Columbia, Canada from Salt Lake City, Utah to visit my kids, Grandkids and siblings. We were just driving along and suddenly rounded a corner, entering Bavaria, Germany! Or so it appeared! Did we get miraculously transported to Europe???? Since then, we have deliberately driven that route, staying overnight on three different occasions, shopping for unique Christmas decorations at the Christmas Store, dining on delicious authentic German cuisine at Ludwig's! We spend a good portion of our lazy time at home checking out the town on several live streaming cameras for the weather, the lights, etc. It's truly a delight to walk the main street and simply savor the architecture and stores!

[@user-lr2do1lj6m]

Happy to hear and see so much Christmas spirit this Christmas year. All the decorations are beautiful and the faith of baby Jesus.

[@joycenesselhauf1220]

I’ve been to Leavenworth at Christmas. It’s truly amazing.

[@travelthetop]

That must have been so cool! :)

[@janetcrumley1217]

So proud of Leavenworth, WA. It is enchanting at any time of the year, but especially at Christmas. The restaurant foods bring provide standard German fare, yum, so good. And walks along the river bring to mind old Bavarian forests. So proud to be from Washington.

[@rob46711]

Visiting Leavenworth during Christmas is high on my bucket list of places to visit.

[@user-ki7yb8vw4e]

I have always wanted to go to Leavenworth, Washington.

[@Yallternitive]

Clicked this video out of curiosity, I’m from Branson, MO. In this video is a short clip of the Clay Cooper Country express show. My daddy was in this show for 11+ years, he played lead guitar. You can see him in the back right. He passed away exactly 3 months ago today. This was a heartache I wasn’t expecting to see today.

[@travelthetop]

I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad left a wonderful memory via music for everyone to enjoy.

[@LCLand]

🙏🏼🕊

[@genregurl]

I'm so sorry. I lost my dad several uwaes ago as well and it's unbearable. There are these triggers that catch you off guard and take your breath. Sending you love. ❤ hugs.

[@bthomson]

Prescott, Arizona ( my town) ( Everybody's Home Town) is also lovely at Christmas. The lighting of the Courthouse Square, the Christmas Parade and the Gingerbread houses (@30! )at the Prescott Resort are amazing! Whiskey Row is always festive and don't miss the lights on the beautiful houses on Mt Vernon Street.

[@bthomson]

Prescott Valley also has a wonderful Valley of Lights drive out at Fain Park.

[@valdez2957]

Went to Washington for the first time this year. On my trip we spent a day in leavensworth. So happy to see it was the number 1 of the Christmas towns.

When I was a little girl in the 50's, Big Bear had Santa's Village. It's too bad they don't put one back in!!! It was magical!!!

[@michaelle8384]

I wish somebody bring me to see all the beautiful Christmas Dec

[@melissah287]

Just got back from a week in St Augustine. The night of lights was amazing.

[@yesorlando05]

I’m absolutely blown away that McAdenville, NC outside of Charlotte isn’t on this list.

[@travelthetop]

Have to admit that I haven’t heard of McAdenville before, but after seeing pictures it will be on the list next year for sure - thanks for the comment! :)

[@joerichardwad1645]

Too many Trump flags blocking the holiday decorations in McAdenville 😂

[@marlyfreely74]

This is a really good video.

[@travelthetop]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@robertnowak4297]

I am from Michigan. Whenever I get home there are must places to stop and visit. Bronners in Frankenmuth , Deer Acres, Paul Bunyan and of course the grandest hotel, The Grand Hotel in Mackinaw. Bronners Christmas market has Christmas products from all over the world. To say you could spend a years salary there is an understatement. Durability is hallmark in their products. I have items from over 20 years ago purchased there which still function. Additionally the religious aspect is not lost in the glitter. I am surprised that it was not higher then 10, but being in the same ballpark as the others listed is indeed an honor. Thanks for sharing this insight into these grand places.

[@hanschristianbrando5588]

It's nice to know that Santa Claus has so many alternatives since the North Pole's days are numbered. Yet despite all these exciting places and their elaborate displays I bet are the most fun to put up, home is still the best place to spend Christmas. I'd still like to see each of these, just as long as I get home by the 24th.

[@tonileigh8660]

First, it's pronounced Frang kin mooth. And I can't believe it was so low on your list. Definitely top 3.

[@hiccup17mark84]

I like Christmas how ever we want to celebrate

[@Pangoban]

Leavenworth, Washington is great; however some years they do not get snow at christmas, such as this year. Make sure to check your weather forecast. It's also fun to visit when there is no snow but not nearly as nice.

[@DragonStormGoddess]

Branson made this but not Kansas City?! There’s not only whole neighborhoods that year after year light up every house and yard, but huge Xmas light displays allover, one is in its 94th year this season! Not to mention Hallmark’s(ya that one, it originated and is headquartered in KC) Crown Center, it’s fully decked out with an ice skating rink, the mayor’s Xmas tree surrounded by giant wood “toys” that kids/people can climb in and play on(makes for cute pics!), plus lights and decorations allover the outside are and inside as well. Plus all the lit up downtown KC buildings are lit red and green and just so much more! There’s even a song “Christmas in Kansas City” 😂 I wasn’t expecting it to be at the top of the list, just surprised it didn’t make it at all lol

[@allalukyanova6328]

Good.

[@superfoodq]

I will add Nevada City, California. Small town but big on Victorian Christmas.

[@stevenbrown1798]

I live in Maine sure don’t have snow anymore for Christmas I don’t remember last time we got snow here for Christmas

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

What about Ogle Bee's in West Virginia, and Overly's In Penna. On I forgot we are flyover states. But they are both truly incredible displays.

[@jordankorade6897]

McAdenville NC???

[@Cerulean0987]

I would have thought that Kennebunkport, Maine would have made this list.

[@ericbrowne1862]

I am disappointed you do not have Grapevine Texas. A quaint little town with a polar express train and a fully lit 1950’s like vibe. The cinema plays Christmas shows- Frosty, Rudolf, Charlie Brown.

[@ghabilihabennywally9354]

There is Non like America in the world in Christmas and New Year every Christmas 🎄 Festivities. CONGRATULATIONS from a far Island country to the North of Australia 🇦🇺 is Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 ❤❤❤ 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 & Happy Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2024 and may God Bless America for Ever.

[@mk-zp9ok]

What happened to Prescott A?

[@NiaLaLa_V]

Leavenworth is spelled wrong in the description and timestamp list.

[@travelthetop]

Thanks for the info, the timestamps were done automatically by KZbin (with lots of spelling mistakes). I fixed it, should be right now.

[@sandraanderson-lf4yu]

I would think Branson would be further up on the list.

[@HAHAHA1307]

You missed Christmas Town USA.....McAdenville, NC......they were putting on the best show far before these places

[@CANIGAW]

Where is the snow?

[@kaydee4296]

I'd love to see someone try to pull off a "nondenominational" Hannukah event.

[@Bikerbug2020]

You missed Helena, Georgia… totally German/Christmas town.

[@bthomson]

Frankenmuth also has the " Greta Van Fleet" kids!

[@johnkitchen4699]

Having been to Leavenworth and been bitterly disappointed makes me concerned about the others down the list

[@janetcrumley1217]

You must have had your eyes closed when you visited Leavenworth.

[@Cindilc]

Cascade, Colorado literally has the North Pole & didn’t make your list? Okay

[@travelthetop]

I had to look up this one… Will be on the list next year - thanks for the comment! :)

[@oliveoil2x]

Rhinebeck looks like a San Francisco crowd. Pass.

[@tomsimpson5317]

Cant wait til it's over too depressing

[@michaelle8384]

Why they don’t have all the light in Florida some part of America don’t have no light at all I never see Christmas light in real life only on tv it’s not the same if I want to see some Christmas light I drive almost one hours that not even close to what I’m looking at now not every body can enjoy Christmas

Shame, shame! No Frankenmuth Michigan?? It’s Christmas all year round.

[@travelthetop]

Frankenmuth is mentioned in the video. Maybe watch it again? :)

[@carolsmith8482]

Maybe I missed something, I saw a lot of Santa, but isn't Christmas about the birth of Christ?

[@chafouaube985]

If i'm not mistaken, he was born in the spring sason. Also, just after the council of Nice , you have huge gap in the new testament. Make reseach man

[@billmurray7473]

If you don't Vote Blue, you'll never be able to celebrate American cities like these EVER AGAIN. If you like these towns, Don't Let The MAGA win.

[@billmurray7473]

When I hear the name Leavenworth, I think of something Entirely Different.

[@HAHAHA1307]

Praying for you Karen

[@tll39564]

New York is a terrible town for anything Christmas. Some of the lights are pretty, but the smell ruins that.

[@luiscarlos2600]

Celebrating Christmas is not a biblical commandment, if God wanted us to celebrate He would leave the day that Jesus Christ was born and give the order, the two rituals that are; Baptism and the celebration of the supper which is the bread and wine that symbolize his flesh, his blood, Coca Cola even made music for this guy, Noel, it is idolatry and idolatry is a sin, if Christmas really were the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ, the main character would be him, and not Noel, trees, turkey, food and drunkenness, an abominable thing for God, return to God

[@travelthetop]

Thanks for the comment ;)

[@ShortsElena-17]

😂😂😂

[@SandraBugler-vq6co]

It's a good thing Jesus wasn't born on December 25th then, right?

[@luiscarlos2600]

@@SandraBugler-vq6co God did not leave the date of birth or order us to celebrate, today there is more talk about Santa Klaus (Noel) of elves, trees, and food than about Jesus,

[@pattiburrus6964]

Christmas is a Freemason Holiday. Even the Colors Red and White were picked because of there number values in Gematria. Santa Claus, and Coca Cola are the same. You need to know Your Biblical History of Nebicanzeer, Ghilcmesh, and His Son Tammuz, and what was under the Evergreen Tree. It was Sacrificed Children of Towns to Celebrate Tammuz's Birthday on December 25! Not JESUS' date of Birth.
