The Greenbrier

This world-class resort has been welcoming visitors since 1778.

There are plenty of holiday activities, too, including carriage rides (sleigh rides, if there’s snow!).

Washington, DC

The capital city is aglow with good cheer during the holidays! A few of the many trees to view are the National Christmas Tree at the White House, the U.S. Capitol Tree, and the CityCentreDC Holiday Tree. Its downtown holiday market, spanning two city blocks, is brimming with handicrafts and delicious treats.

Colonial Williamsburg

Wrap yourself in the holiday spirit as you explore America’s rich colonial past. Colonial Williamsburg goes all-out for the season, with Christmas decoration tours, seasonal workshops, handbell concerts and choral performances, teas, and festive dinners.

Richmond, Virginia

This bustling city shines bright during the holidays! The Dominion Energy GardenFest of Lights has become a beloved tradition, featuring millions of lights, 100+ wrapped trees, and illuminated greenhouses. The Richmond Symphony performs The Nutcracker, and numerous Christmas markets offer handmade gifts and foods as a tasty memento of your trip.
