What's Christmas like in Minnesota?
To borrow a line from a beloved holiday tune, Christmas in Minnesota truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Truly -- if you're looking for a winter wonderland full of bright lights, decked-to-the-nine towns, charming festivals, and lots of holiday cheer, come to The Land of 10,000 Lakes in November and December. On top of our infectious holiday spirit, Minnesota is also no stranger to snow on Christmas Day, which only adds to the enchanting mood of this time of year. (In fact, in 121 years of snow depth measurements in Twin Cities, a White Christmas has happened about 71% of the time. Those are pretty great odds, we say!) And so, we'll conclude our answer to your question by quoting another favorite Christmas song, and say that if you're dreaming of a White Christmas, there's no better place to be than Minnesota!
