Popular Montana Destination Takes Top Spot For Holidays

The Magic of the Holiday Season in Montana

The Holiday Season is my favorite time of year.

I love all of the music, lights, decorations, foods, you name it. Here in Montana we tend to do the Holidays right. With Christmas Strolls, parades, and all kinds of other festivities. One of my favorite things to do is drive down Main Street in Bozeman after the Spiders have been lit and check out all of the decorations.

For me, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

Why Montana Stands Out for Holiday Travel

While many folks choose to travel this time of year, maybe it's to someplace warm, or maybe it's to visit family, it should be noted that Montana is no slouch when it comes to the Holidays.

In fact, Travel + Leisure came out with a list of several different destinations and if you have a family, the top destination for the Holidays is right here in Montana.

The popular site broke down the travel destinations into the following categories:

• Families
• Couples
• Budget
• Warm Weather
• Christmas Markets
• Festive Lights

Big Sky: The Ultimate Family Destination

While there were cities from all over the world on the list, for families the number one spot to travel for the Holidays just happens to be Big Sky, Montana.

Holiday Activities in Big Sky

Now, let's be honest, hanging out in Big Sky isn't cheap, but there is world class skiing and the little town itself is a delight. During the Holidays there is ice skating, the Enchanted Forest, visits with Santa and much more. So, if you are looking for the perfect mountain town background, Big Sky would be hard to beat.

Oh, and if snow and cold isn't your idea for the perfect Holiday getaway, it should be noted that Hawaii comes in at second place.
