Christmas will look a little different this year: Santa is still coming to town, but is practicing social-distancing, and his elves are hard at work—wearing masks and staying six feet apart. There will still be cookie decorating and plenty of holiday lights, but in limited numbers and in a more cautious way. If you'd like to join in the fun, these 20 places are offering a host of responsible and inventive ways to have a memorable white Christmas.
1. Resort at Squaw Creek, Lake Tahoe, California
Make a child's dream come true this Christmas with breakfast with Santa, holiday cookie decorating, and a holiday bear factory at Resort at Squaw Creek. Also on offer are the yearly Kids’ Night Out New Year’s Eve Bash; ski-in, ski-out access all day, and an on-property ice rink.
2. The Resort at Paws Up, Montana
Located on 37,000 acres of untamed Montana wilderness, has plenty to do around the holidays—including horse-drawn sleigh and wagon rides, gingerbread house making contests, cookie decorating, visits with Santa, and plenty of outdoor fun like dogsledding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and winter ATV riding. We're pleasantly exhausted already.
