18 Dec Three Reasons Christmas in Flagstaff is Awesome!
Christmas is only a week away! There’s snow on the ground, gifts being wrapped and Christmas lights are lighting up the dark sky city. There are so many great holiday events underway already so it’s certainly hard not to get excited about Christmas. Flagstaff around this time of year could certainly be a home away from home for dear ol’ Santa. So in that spirit, we’ve put together a short list of reasons why Flagstaff is the best place in Arizona to spend your Christmas – and it’s even better if you live here!
1. Flagstaff is a Winter Wonderland
For most Arizonans, the traditional idea of Christmas doesn’t really ever come to fruition. There’s no (real) snow and no need for fireplaces, just a slightly chillier than usual desert landscape. This year not only did Flagstaff just get a solid dusting of snow, the weather forecast is predicting a snowy Christmas Eve and Christmas day! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
2. Pine (Christmas) Trees all Around
There’s no more iconic symbol for Christmas than the Christmas tree. Flagstaff just so happens to have them growing in quite a few of our front and back yards! We’re surrounded by tall, beautiful trees all around here in Flagstaff. It just so happens that we are located in the world’s largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest! It’s like we’re preparing for the holidays all year round!
3. All the Events You can Handle!
We discussed it in our last article about Flagstaff, but here are just a few of the awesome events happening in Flagstaff to celebrate the holiday season: The North Pole Experience, Sleigh Rides, The Great Pinecone Drop, winter sports at Arizona Snowbowl, Riordan Mansion holiday tours, Holiday Skies at Lowell Observatory, Holiday Lights Parade in Historic Downtown, Flagstaff Festival of Trees, and so much more!
