Holiday Attractions

Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour

The Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce puts on the Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour. The chamber hosts sleigh rides around the town while you collect chocolate goods throughout the town. You will truly live the “Jingle Bells” song as you get to explore and learn about Jackson, NH!

Santa’s Village

Santa’s Village is a Christmas-themed amusement park located in Jefferson. Although the park celebrates the holiday spirit year-round, there is something special about visiting during the Christmas season. Some rides and attractions close because of the weather but most stay open. Your kids will love taking pictures with Santa and his reindeer. Adults love the vast gift shops and delicious sweets!

The Mount Washington Cog Railway

Known as the world’s first mountain-climbing cog railway, the Mount Washington Cog Railway climbs up Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeastern United States. The winter season is too cold to climb to the top of the mountain. However, they provide daily rides to Waumbek Station, and on weekends, you can ride with Mr. and Mrs. Clause!
