The winter season brings snow, holiday lights, and bright spirits. Below are only three of the hundreds of wonderful places that are lovely to visit in the winter season.

Fairbanks, Alaska
Due to it’s location being close to the North Pole and the lack of urban city pollution, Fairbanks is one of the best places to bask in the glory of the Aurora Borealis, better known as the Northern Lights. Here, the sky comes alive over 360 miles. If you’re not the best with direction, you can book a Snow Coach Tour. The trek begins at ten p.m. from a resort and travels 60 miles where the staff sets up a heated shelter and hands out hot drinks while you enjoy the view. Talk about a view!

Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh is decked roof to street in festive lights when December rolls around. They have three markets to visit during the month and offer a lot of actives. At the moment they have seven shows listed that you can see, two ice skating rinks, 11 rides, a Christmas tree maze, and plenty more to do and places to shop. No one does pre-Christmas excitement quite like Edinburgh does!

Lake Placid, New York
If you dream about a chance to participate in the Winter Olympics, this is the place for you!  At the Olympic Sports Complex, you are given the chance to take a bobsled run, with of course a professional driver and a brakeman to keep you safe. At the Olympic Center nearby, you take a speed skate around the big oval. The center has activities for all different people and ages. They also provide a torch run, a hockey slap shot contest, and a snowboarding race! Have fun and go for gold!
