You have to love small towns. There is something so sweet and genuine about them. While DC is definitely not a small town, we happen to be in close proximity to many charming small towns. If you’re looking for a idyllic small town that’s perfect for the holidays, we found one for you! Warrenton, Virginia is the best winter town near DC.
Warrenton, Virginia is a small town about an hour outside of DC in Northern Virginia. It's charming all year round but it nothing short of magical in the Christmas season.
But if you want to tell him your list, you have to visit him at Gumdrop Square and Santa's Secret Shop. The courthouse building in downtown Warrenton is turned into Gumdrop Square every year, an old time holiday town!
