Ah, Christmas in New England.

The holiday season in New England – particularly Cape Cod – is a magical time of year to enjoy everything the region has to offer.

Quintessential New England Christmas

What image does a Cape Cod Christmas conjure up in your mind?

A Currier and Ives scene of a village buried in snow with festive decorations… or an exciting holiday show?

And if you have kids… no Christmas on Cape Cod is complete without a visit to Santa in his North Pole workshop or a trip on The North Pole Express.

Of course, if tickets to some of these Cape Cod holiday events run dry… why not head to Nantucket?

Nantucket is particularly enchanting during the holiday season, when New England’s finest traditions come alive for the Annual Christmas Stroll Weekend. The event is part of Nantucket Noel, a month-long celebration organized by the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce.

A Festive Holiday Celebration

The Annual Christmas Stroll Weekend – December 4th thru 6th, is a community holiday celebration attracting visitors from around the world.

Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive to the island via a Coast Guard vessel and ride up Main Street in a horse-drawn carriage accompanied by the Town Crier.

Carolers in Victorian costumes, bell ringers, student choirs and other musicians perform on the Main Street stage as well as stroll through town performing, all the while visitors can enjoy Nantucket’s unique shops and restaurants.
