What are some Christmas traditions in Vermont?
Vermont is a beautiful state in the wintertime, so it is no surprise that you'll be treated to some wonderful holiday traditions filled with Christmas spirit. Here are a few Christmas traditions in Vermont to look forward to:
- Annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony, Burlington, VT: Swing on by Church Street in Burlington for the annual lighting ceremony where over 100,000 lights along with the town's Christmas tree come alive with a cheer from the gathered crowd. Be sure to check out the Church Street Marketplace for caroling, shopping, and an evening Christmas show. Before all of the lighting excitement happens though, gather around for the Santa Parade, an annual tradition you don't want to miss.
- Russell Tree Farm, Starksboro, VT: Another long-time tradition for many of us in Vermont is picking out our fresh Christmas tree from an actual tree farm. There is nothing more fragrant than a fresh Balsam or Fraser Fir standing tall in your living room. Russel Tree Farm makes the experience even more magical with a horse-drawn carriage ride through the farm as you find your perfect treasure. After you find your tree, they will bundle it all up nice and tight while you warm up with hot cocoa.
- Main Street Christmas, Stowe, VT: Stowe is a wonderful Christmas town in Vermont and its winter festivities are always highly rated from the official lighting of the town Christmas tree to gingerbread house contests, and, of course, visits with Mr. and Mrs. Clause (and some of their reindeer too!). You'll also enjoy holiday treats from local businesses, as well as a lovely Man Street decorated with thousands of Christmas lights.
