Dec 16, 2025, 4:18 PM

It almost feels like cheating in Colorado when comparing cities based on how Christmas-y they are, because, well, you know…  But Zillow has unwrapped its picks for America’s most festive towns, and of course Colorado is on the list!

The real estate site analyzed listings for homes for sale across the country to find the places where sellers “weave the season into their listing descriptions.” Zillow looked for holiday keywords including “winter wonderland,” “Christmas lights,” “Santa” and “holiday spirit” and found the towns where seasonal charm is a big part of home marketing.

The 10 Most Festive Holiday Towns in the U.S.

  1. Santa Claus, Indiana
  2. McAdenville, North Carolina
  3. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
  4. Breckenridge, Colorado
  5. Dahlonega, Georgia
  6. Natchitoches, Louisiana
  7. Palmer Lake, Colorado
  8. Windcrest, Texas
  9. Shaver Lake, California
  10. Ransom Canyon, Texas
