Whether it's the weather, the decorated Main Streets, or just the feel in the air, the following 10 best Christmas towns in Virginia are especially enchanting during the holidays:

1. Lexington

Few towns have the sparkle of Lexington when it comes to winter decor. The historic Main Street shines with wreath-decorated lamps and twinkle lights as far as the eye can see. And the annual Christmas Parade, led by Santa and Mrs. Claus in a horse-drawn carriage, is certainly not to be missed.

2. Charlottesville

Just when you thought Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall couldn’t get any more charming. Seeing these friendly shops and restaurants covered in a blanket of snow will make you want to spend your holiday in the land of Thomas Jefferson. There are plenty of family-friendly holiday events that go on here, including wreath workshops, restaurant events, parades and more.

3. Luray

Luray is often put on the map for its impressive cavern systems. But aboveground is where you’ll find all the holiday spirit. From Christmas tree farms, holiday parades, decorated storefronts, dazzling lights and plenty of candy, this friendly town is nothing short of a winter wonderland.

Abingdon during the holiday season is a truly unique experience. Whether you’re just dropping in to catch a holiday show at the famous Barter Theatre, or have time to meander the illuminated downtown stretch, you’re sure to remember your time in this southwestern Virginia Christmas town.
