When it comes to Christmas, Colorado does it right, thanks to our many drive-thru light displays, walk-thru light displays, Polar Express rides, and other festivities that are sure to put you in the holiday spirit! In addition to these annual events, a few of our beautiful Colorado Christmas towns pull out all the stops during the holiday season, including a gorgeous mountain town, where you’ll find there’s nothing quite like a Breckenridge Christmas!
Breckenridge is a must-visit Colorado destination year-round but manages to become even more glorious in the winter, as it comes to life with beautiful lights, festivals, and other special events.
According to Go Breck, "Breckenridge in December is like stepping into a real-life snow globe," adding that "Sparkling holiday lights and glittering snowflakes are enough to make any Grinch believe again." We couldn't agree more!
No matter your age or interest, you will find something to love in festive Breckenridge at Christmas, beginning with magical white lights all around downtown and surrounding snow-capped mountains.
Do you have some shopping to do? Lucky for you, there is also no better place to shop around than Breck, as the town is chock-full of locally-owned boutiques and shops that you will not find anywhere else.
This charming town is known near and far for its world-class outdoor recreation, which you better believe they also have during Christmas in Breckenridge, Colorado.
What kind of outdoor recreation? Breckenridge has skiing, snowboarding, sledding, hiking, and ice skating, to name a few.
You won't want to miss the Lighting of Breckenridge and the Race of the Santas. Check the Breckenridge Events webpage for more details.
