FAQs About Christmas Vacation Homes

Where's the Best Place to Vacation for Christmas?

It depends on your holiday style. For a snowy Christmas vacation rental, try Colorado or Vermont. Prefer sun? Our Mexico and Hawaii vacation homes are perfect for winter warmth.

What's the Best Town to Visit for Christmas in the US?

You’ll find charm in snowy mountain towns like Placerville, Vermont, and scenic upstate New York. For coastal festivities, Florida and Oregon are favorites.

Can I Book a Last-Minute Christmas Vacation Rental with Wander?

Yes, if availability allows. We recommend booking early, but our team can help you find the perfect spot quickly if you’re planning a spontaneous trip.

Are Your Christmas Vacation Rentals Pet-Friendly?

Some are! Please check the specific home listing or contact our concierge to confirm pet-friendly properties.

Which US Cities Guarantee Snow at Christmas?

While no US city can guarantee snow on Christmas Day, several have a high probability based on climate and elevation. Top contenders include:

  • Aspen, CO and Breckenridge, CO – Ski towns with near-certain snow.
  • Lake Placid, NY – Historically snowy with winter sports charm.
  • Whitefish, MT – Consistently snowy and less touristy.
  • Park City, UT – A high-altitude resort town often blanketed in snow.

Aim for mountain towns in the Rockies or Northeast where snow is part of the seasonal norm for the best chance.

Is Niagara Falls Worth Visiting in Winter, and Does it Snow There?

Yes, Niagara Falls is a stunning winter destination, especially on the Canadian side. It regularly receives snow from late November through February, creating a magical, icy landscape. Visitors often highlight the beauty of the frozen mist around the falls, quieter crowds, and winter light festivals.

However, some attractions may have reduced hours, so check seasonal availability in advance.

What are Some Festive Christmas Destinations, Like New York City, that are More Affordable and Less Crowded?

Chicago is a top alternative to NYC at Christmas, offering a bustling Christkindlmarket, ice skating in Millennium Park, and holiday theatre shows without New York’s sky-high prices.

Other favourites include Leavenworth, WA (a Bavarian-style village lit with Christmas lights), Asheville, North Carolina (home to the grand Biltmore Estate), and Bethlehem, PA (nicknamed “Christmas City USA”). These spots deliver a festive atmosphere with lower costs and smaller crowds.
