Top Places to Experience the Magic of Christmas this Winter The North Pole, NY

Après Ski and Anytime Family Fun at Santa’s Workshop in the Adirondacks
 There are few places left in the world where the magic of Christmas exists in its purest form. Santa’s Workshop located at the North Pole, NY, is one of them.
This winter, you’re invited to experience the joy and merriment of the holidays at one of the first original theme parks in the United States still in existence – one that has inspired the likes of Walt Disney and countless young and old minds alike since opening its gates in 1949.
A trip to Santa’s Workshop is like stepping into the pages of a storybook – one filled with workshops with frost-covered windows, a magical talking Christmas tree, and even jolly old St. Nick himself.
Get in the Christmas Spirit a little early this year with a preview of what’s in store for the 2014 season:

• Yuletide Family Weekends will be available during five exclusive weekends starting late November through December. These two-day, family-oriented weekends offer lodging accommodations, meals, admission to Santa’s Workshop and special evening activities, including a Trim the Tree Party and ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas with Santa and friends.
• Village of Lights offers a truly magical experience at Santa’s Workshop during select evenings in December.
