Pennsylvania Town Named the Best for Christmas By NBC’s Today Show
Pennsylvania has some gorgeous areas to celebrate Christmas, and NBC’s “TODAY Show” is taking notice. The popular television program has released a list of the 25 best Christmas towns in the U.S., and one Pennsylvania town made the cut.
“It’s (almost) the most wonderful time of the year!” they state in the article on TODAY.com. “With the holiday season fast approaching, you may be looking for extra magical places to travel to. From California to Connecticut and everywhere in between, TODAY has compiled a list of 25 Christmas towns to put on your travel list this holiday season.”
While Pennsylvania has one city on the list, New Jersey doesn’t have any, which kind of surprises us. They do highlight New York City as one of the best places in America to celebrate the holidays, stating, “It’s not a small town, but it’s undeniable that there’s no place like the Big Apple for the holidays. You can go ice skating and enjoy the iconic Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, or walk through one of the many holiday markets, like the one at Bryant Park. In this winter wonderland, the opportunities are endless.”
So, which Pennsylvania city made the cut? Bethlehem. In the article, “TODAY” states, “A modest Pennsylvania town, Bethlehem brings the small-town charm to Christmas without breaking the bank. Take part in the town’s horse-drawn carriage rides to enjoy the lights or go on the Christmas City Stroll to get in the holiday spirit.” I think Bethlehem is a great pick, but I also think Philadelphia is a fantastic Christmas city. There are a lot of other great spots on this tally, too. Find the full list of the 25 best Christmas towns in the U.S. for a winter getaway here.
