You're Going to Want to Visit Every Single One of These Christmas Towns

There are few things that compare to the joy of the holiday season. Whether it's decorating gingerbread houses, marathoning holiday movies, cozying up in front of the fireplace, covering every inch of your house in decorations, or surrounding yourself with loved ones, this is truly the happiest time of the year. And while celebrating the season will undoubtedly look differently this year, nothing will get you into the holiday spirit like pictures of the Best Christmas Towns in the country.

From towns that look like they were ripped right out of fairytales to a place literally called Santa Claus, Indiana, these joyful and triumphant holiday towns are just what you need to feel merry and bright. The following pictures will transport you to the North Pole (or more realistically, Europe) and make you feel like you're starring in your very own Hallmark Christmas movie. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, some towns have had to cancel or alter their events to take the proper precautions, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy them in all their pictured, cheery glory.
