I am not going to lie, I am biased to this one because St. Louis is the city I spend most of my christmas's at. There are tons of things to do around the holiday season including Christmas lights (Ameran Missouri Festival of Lights, Garden Glow at Missouri Botanical Garden, etc.), holiday magic and polar express at Union Station, and many more. Plus, St. Louis has that christmas cold weather down.

3. Santa Claus, Indiana:

You probably had an idea where I was going with this. New York, NY, the melting pot of the USA is one of if not the best place to spend the holidays. Festivities include Winter Village in Bryant Park, Radio City Christmas Spectacular, Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center, and many more.

Don't think spending the holidays in one of these cities is a good idea? In the words of Kevin McCallister: "No offense, but that seems like sort of a dumb thing to do." Comment on facebook some of your favorite Christmas locations or if you disagree about any of these cities and their placements. Most importantly, have a fantastic holiday season.
