Kansas is positively magical this time of year (and year round, if we are being completely honest.) It seems as though towns both big and small pull out all the stops with beautiful displays, parades, and other special events, which makes the holiday season even more special. When it comes to these 10 towns, however, Christmas is taken to a whole new level, which is why we find them to be the most enchanting of them all:
- WaKeeney
Get WaKeeney Facebook Nicknamed the “Christmas City of the High Plains,” it’s no wonder WaKeeney (with its 4 blocks worth of lights, annual tree lighting celebration, and Christmastime bazaars) is once again topping our list of Kansas Christmas towns.
- Kansas City
