Here in Arkansas, we take Christmas seriously. All our small towns and major cities come alive in the best way during the season. But there is one town that really shines at Christmastime and that town is Searcy in White County. From the town square to the festive storefronts to the local parks and more, the entire community is brimming with holiday cheer. So, of course, the town is worth visiting, but while you’re there, you must visit Berryhill Park. This incredible, festive Christmas park in Arkansas comes alive in the most spectacular way, featuring thousands of twinkling lights. It’s where all the magic of the season happens, and if you ask me, this park is worth the trip to Searcy every year.

Recognized by Southern Living as the “Ultra-Festive Christmas Town,” it’s easy to see why Searcy is one of the best Christmas towns in Arkansas.
