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!
