While you’re searching for the perfect festive destinations in the US to travel to this holiday season, here are the top three places to check out in North Carolina.

The US is home to some of the most festive destinations in the world. Here, you can easily experience entire towns transformed into winter wonderlands with lights and decorations. You can also experience quirky destinations named after Christmas themes that appropriately deliver on their promise of festive cheer. Luckily, all three of these spots are super close to Charlotte, North Carolina. I’ve been to all three and I really enjoyed them. Check them out below and see the full United States list here.

• 1. Take a Brewery Tour

  We have a lot of beer here in Charlotte. There are actually 30+ breweries throughout the Queen City and there’s nothing like wearing your favorite sweater and enjoying a cold brew. If you need something to do on a cold winter day, try doing a brewery tour. In addition to charming fire pits and fun taprooms, you can also enjoy the winter season by discovering new beers.

• 2. Go See A Panthers Game

• 4. Go to a Charlotte Hornets Game

  Enter the swarm and take yourself to see at least one Hornet’s game this year. In the winter, you can enjoy a seat in the hive while watching some talented basketballers shoot some hoops and enjoying classic stadium concessions all in the comfort of the stands. It's warm and cozy and so much fun! A Hornets game is a memorable and exciting experience for all ages, regardless of whether basketball is your thing.

• 6. Go to the Spa

  Need to relax? How about a day all about YOU? The spa is just the place. Charlotte has a bunch of spas and it's a great way to enjoy a winter day. A visit to the spa in winter is truly a leisure everyone should experience.
• 7. Take A Carriage Ride

  Share

  You will find this unique winter attraction pure bliss if you love horses and Charlotte as much as we do. Located at the intersection of Trade and Tryon, Charlotte Center City Carriage Tours offers a delightful way to see uptown Charlotte. You will receive a blanket during this historical and magical journey, and you are welcome to pet the horses before and after. You can see more on scheduling a carriage ride at their website.

• 8. Go Golfing Indoors

  Share

  There are two Charlotte locations for Top Golf. During winter, Topgolf's heated, climate-controlled bays are the perfect place to warm up. I've done this before and I loved it! There are drinks, golf, and snacks to enjoy.
