Helen, Georgia
Where to fly: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
Known for its charming alpine aesthetic, the town of Helen, Georgia, somehow becomes even more magical during the holiday season. Reign in the holiday season as your ancestors did during the Victorian era by paying a visit to the Hardman Farm Historic State Site where reenactments take place every Friday and Saturday night in December.
If you happen to visit Helen on December 8, the Annual Christmas Parade celebrates the town’s Bavarian roots while also bringing the typical cheer of the season to every person in town.
Pro tip: After a long day of sightseeing, curl up with a book and some eggnog at your own private cabin in the woods, complete with a roaring fireplace and expansive views of the surrounding mountain range.
