There are plenty of enchanting Christmas towns in Arizona to visit this year, but Sedona is definitely one of the best. Between seeing the iconic red rocks blanketed in snow to attending a magical lantern festival to dining in a private igloo, holiday cheer is around every corner here. It’s truly reminiscent of a painting, and a visit promises to warm your holidays.
If you've never visited Sedona at Christmastime, make plans to do so this holiday season. The popular tourist destination is much less busy during the colder months - and it looks like a scene from a painting when it snows.
A trip to Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village will have you feeling festive in no time. Marvel at a 26-foot-tall Christmas tree and bask in its luminous glow while you do your holiday shopping.

There is also a celebration on the first night of Hanukkah each year that includes the lighting of the menorah, festive food and drink, music, and photo-ops with Judah The Maccabee.
The hotel's very own ShadowRock Tap + Table transforms into a magical igloo village complete with lights, decorations, and - of course - the igloos themselves. Enjoy a delicious meal and festive drinks while pretending you're at the North Pole!
