It’s the perfect way to celebrate Christmas in the Poconos!
Jim Thorpe’s Olde Time Christmas
Jim Thorpe’s Olde Time Christmas is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season! Bring the whole family out for train rides with Santa, caroling, live entertainment, and plenty of Christmas shopping. The highlight of the event is the annual tree lighting ceremony in Josiah White Park.
Hawley Winterfest
Christmas in the Poconos is not complete without a visit to the annual Hawley Winterfest! This three-day holiday event is excellent for a fun family outing or a casual date. Take a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride around town and then tour all the decorated historic homes. You can also enjoy ice-carving, delicious seasonal food, hot cocoa, arts and crafts, and endless holiday entertainment. There is even a Beer Tour and an ugly Christmas sweater party!
Honesdale for the Holidays
One of the best things about Christmas is the shopping! If you still need to do your holiday shopping, head to Historic Honesdale for a delightful Winter Wonderland.
