What are some other epic Christmas houses in Ohio?
The Wadsworth Griswold House certainly ranks high on the list of amazing Christmas houses in Ohio, but the Buckeye State is positively teeming with holiday spirit each year, as evidenced by our numerous Christmas towns and decked-out homes. Here are some other epic Christmas houses in Ohio;
- The Christmas Ranch in Morrow, Ohio. This popular family fun attraction features a million dancing Christmas lights synchronized to holiday music, Christmas shops, pictures with Santa, wagon and train rides, and hot food and drinks. The Christmas Ranch is a splendid holiday tradition by which visitors of all ages are enchanted. It's not so much a "ranch" as it is an entire holiday snow globe!
- Then there's the stately Victorian home in Cambridge, Ohio, AKA the Dickens Victorian Village Welcome Center, that invites guests to come and take a trip back in time. From November through early January, the town is transformed into old-world England, featuring more than 80 scenes of 180 lifelike figures representing typical scenes from Victorian society and Dickens' novels. This incredible display is an enchanting take on the holiday season, and it will transport you into a holiday worth writing about!
- Of course, we'd be remiss not to mention *the* Christmas house in Ohio, the one-and-only yellow home from "A Christmas Story!" Arguably the greatest holiday movie of all time, "A Christmas Story" instantly captivated audiences when it premiered in 1983. Purportedly, the team visited 20 cities before deciding to film in Cleveland... and we're so grateful that they did! Our winter wonderland was captured in this irresistible holiday classic. From shots of Higbee's downtown (where Ralphie spots that darn Red Ryder BB Gun) to the parade in Public Square, you'll spot Cleveland all throughout this movie. You may also recognize, of course, the Parker's House. Nowadays, Ralphie's house is restored and open to visitors as a museum!
