Theme Parks are usually associated with summer, but one New Hampshire theme park has a distinctly winter feel. Santa’s Village in Jefferson is a favorite destination for families during the summer, but during the winter the park opens up and feel like a whole new destination. From the lights to the rides, this New Hampshire park gives an experience that will ignite your Christmas spirit.

During the short days in November and December, the most amazing way to see Santa’s Village is at night.
