There are plenty of winter wonderlands in Georgia, which may surprise some people since throughout much of the state, you can wear shorts at Christmastime. Many tourists hunting for a Georgia wonderland in the colder months often head to beautiful Dahlonega or Blue Ridge, and don’t get us wrong: those are great places to celebrate the winter holidays! Still, there are plenty of small towns in Georgia and one of our favorite tiny gems that’s worth taking a trip to is Helen. It’s most famous for its lengthy and celebratory Oktoberfest in the fall, but the entire town becomes a holiday wonderland for all who visit, and it feels like each year gets better and better than the last. If you’re looking for a last-minute getaway to get you into the holiday spirit, Helen, GA in winter is one trip you don’t want to miss out on.
