Hallmark Christmas Town In Georgia October 28, 2022 AnneMarie Is there another Hallmark town in Georgia to visit during the holidays? The town of Helen is another Hallmark-esque Christmas town, except it was actually chosen as the setting for a Lifetime Channel Christmas movie, A Taste of Christmas, in 2020. Even outside of the holiday season, this town is so charming, a mountain town known for its vineyards and Bavarian-style villages. You can get the perfect, Instagram-worthy holiday photo while there by the humongous Christmas tree.  What are the best holiday events in Georgia? Some of the best events for celebrating the holiday season in the state are the annual Downtown Parade of Lights in Athens, a truly unique parade experience where Georgians may submit their entries to build and decorate their own floats with the best float winning a cash prize plus the honor of a memorable plaque, one of the Christmas festivals such as Victorian Christmas in Thomasville, where there will be carriage rides, entertainment, a live nativity, food and more, and while not really an event, but of course, it would not be Christmas without mailing your wish list to Santa, which you can do at the red mailbox for Santa in none other than Santa Claus, Georgia. Yes, you read that right! Where can I visit Santa in Georgia? At Hunters’ Christmas Tree Farm in Alpharetta, you can see Santa while getting your Christmas tree! If you’ve already got a tree, there are many other places to visit Santa in Georgia, such as in Duluth where you also can have cookies and cocoa with Santa, at the Mt. Zion Craft Show, or Christmas in Acworth, just to name a few.
