Williamsburg, Virginia
Where to fly: Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport
A walk through Williamsburg, Virginia, during the height of the holiday season is sure to dazzle anyone—especially those with an affinity for Christmas lights. For an equally impressive lighting display, head to the flagship store of the Yankee Candle Village where Santa’s workshop is always bustling.
Pro tip: For those philosophers and inventors in your life, a trip to the Food For Thought restaurant in Williamsburg is truly unique in its conception, as you’ll find quotes from inventors, scientists, and social leaders on the walls, along with discussion cards placed at each table to promote intellectual discussion.
