Christmastime is magical just about everywhere you go. However, the small towns that dot the state just take on an extra aura of enchantment. Maybe it’s because they remind many of us of the quaint small towns, blanked in snow, that we see on Christmas cards and in Christmas movies. Journey to the charming town of Smicksburg for an old-fashioned Christmas celebration this holiday season.

Smicksburg, a tiny town just over an hour from downtown Pittsburgh, transforms into a magical holiday wonderland each winter and hosts several events that are certainly worth the leisurely drive.
