There is something truly magical about the Poconos in December. With fresh snow covering the mountain peaks and small towns lighting up for the season, a white Christmas in the Poconos feels almost guaranteed. But the snow is only part of the experience. The Poconos is filled with timeless holiday traditions, festive events, and cozy spots to make memories with the people you love.
Old Time Christmas Tours in Quiet Valley
One of the most cherished holiday events in the region is the Old Time Christmas lantern tour at Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm. Held during the first two weekends of December, this guided tour takes you back to the 1820s with costumed actors, a live Nativity scene in a real barn, and the sound of Christmas carols in the air. The peaceful setting, soft candlelight, and attention to historic detail make this event a must-see. After the tour, stop by the on-site gift shop for handmade crafts and a warm cup of cocoa.
Hawley Winterfest Celebration
Hawley Winterfest is a highlight of the season. Over the course of three days, the historic town turns into a winter wonderland complete with horse-drawn carriage rides, ice carving displays, live music, holiday markets, and festive food. You can sip hot cocoa while browsing local art or jump into the spirit with an ugly sweater party or seasonal beer tour. It is a fun and festive way to explore a charming mountain town.
Holiday Shopping in Historic Honesdale
No Christmas getaway is complete without a little shopping, and Historic Honesdale delivers. This small town shines during the holidays with decorated storefronts, carolers, and community cheer. The annual Santa Parade is a crowd favorite and a great photo opportunity for families. Whether you are hunting for handcrafted gifts, local art, or stocking stuffers, Honesdale offers plenty of options and an unforgettable holiday atmosphere.
