Wintertimes’s all about feeling cozy. Snuggling under a warm blanket, drinking a piping hot cocoa or other goody, and watching as the snow tumbles down outside. Sometimes, though, we crave the excitement of the season – sledding, snow tubing, skiing, and good, old-fashioned snowball fights. No matter how you like to spend your winter days, plan a few of them in one or more of the coziest towns in Missouri.
Hermann is perhaps best known for its many wineries. Can you think of a better way to spend a snowy afternoon than sampling wine? You'll also find an assortment of shops, restaurants, museums, and other attractions to explore during your stay. For some of the best views of the Missouri River, make the 10-mile trek to Grand Bluffs Conservation Area Lookout Deck. Here's the official website of Experience Hermann, Missouri.
Celebrate winter in Historic Downtown St. Charles, which hosts the annual Fete de Glace Ice Carving Competition each January. If you can't make it to that, you'll still find plenty to do in the enchanting small town. Breathe in the fresh air with a trek along a portion of the Katy Trail, which runs right next to St. Charles, and carve out time to visit its shops, restaurants, and museums. Stop by the official website of Discover St. Charles for more information.
Hop aboard one of the Ste. Genevieve Trolleys, a picture-perfect way to explore the historic small town that's brimming with historical attractions, restaurants, and shops.

Get ready for an action-packed day of excitement at Snow Creek Mountain Resort in Weston. The winter attraction offers snow tubing, skiing, and snowboarding. Go for a picturesque hike on one of the many hiking trails in town. Be sure to save plenty of time to visit Historic Downtown, too, which is brimming with shops, restaurants, and other attractions.

Hannibal is, undoubtedly, best known for its connection to Mark Twain. If you're a fan of the author, plan a visit to the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum.
