Let's kick off the merry month of December together with a delightful 3-day Christmas celebration! Our adventure begins in Dahlonega, Georgia, where we'll explore the Christmas Market on Candy Cane Lane, a charming, old-fashioned experience featuring the craftsmanship of talented artists. Stroll back in time to the Christmas of 1877 at Hardman Farm, where the Mansion at West End will be decked out in exquisite period holiday decor, and we'll learn about Victorian Christmas traditions.
Returning to Helen, we'll partake in the 16th Annual Christkindlmarkt on the Marktplatz, a traditional German event filled with unique gifts, mouthwatering foods, and sweet treats. Our journey continues to Hiawassee, Georgia, home to the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds, where we'll be treated to a spectacular holiday light show by the serene Lake Chatuge. With Christmas music, arts, crafts, delightful food, and endless entertainment, there will be plenty of photo opportunities and even a chance to meet Santa Claus!
To wrap up this enchanting Christmas trip, we'll make a stop in Asheville at the Grove Park Inn, ending our holiday journey on a cozy note.
