Why do we love watching sentimental Christmas movies? I think a big reason is to see the places where those movies take place. You know, those quaint Norman Rockwell-esque towns all dressed up for the holiday season. Fortunately, those places don’t only exist in the movies.

As much as I love Christmas in New York City, there’s just something special about the way a small town looks and feels in December. Whether you don’t want the Christmas season to end, you’re looking for a last minute trip to celebrate the holidays, or you’re just trying to find your own Bedford Falls, here are some of the best Christmas towns to visit in the U.S., according to Elite Daily.
