For many, Christmas is the most magical time of the year and a perfect time to enjoy the holidays with friends and family. Now a new study by Cititraveler.com has ranked the top 28 Cities That Go All Out For Christmas.
When it comes to the Golden State, the fantastic weather and variety of terrific locales offer many great options to consider. However, Cititraveler has chosen Newport Beach as the top-ranked city to visit in California during Christmas.
Newport Beach scored highly due to the Newport Christmas Boat Parade festivities and the report noted:
The Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade is one of the longest-running holiday festivals in the entire country, celebrating its 116th anniversary this year from November 29 to January 1. (To compare, the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting has been running for 90 years.) The “parade” takes place in the harbor of Newport Beach, where yachts, boats, and kayaks have been known to show off up to $50,000 worth of decorations to millions of visitors.
