10 Surprising Cities In America Whose Winter Holiday Charm Is Worth Unwrapping

Hickory in North Carolina was recently named the “Top Tinsel Town In America,” on a Realtor.com list of the 10 surprising cities worth visiting for the holidays, followed by Eugene, Oregon and Buffalo, NY.

Pittsburgh was the 4th most festive city for the winter holidays. Other cities ranked on the list — Sarasota, FL at No. 5; Hartford, CT at No. 6; Providence; RI at No. 7; Salisbury, MD at No. 8; St. Louis, MO; and Lafayette, Louisiana at No. 10.

Magazine’s ranking was compiled by looking at the 150 U.S. cities and assessing each on criteria such as the percentage of all employees that are seasonal cashiers, the percentage of all flight arrivals between Dec. 19 and Dec. 23, and toy stores per capita.
