Natchitoches, LA

The day after Halloween kicks off Christmas in this music capitol of the heartland where they celebrate Christmas like no other! Featuring an historic hotel known for candy bread houses and a look at the local bakery famous for their Yule log cakes - and Megan tries her hand at making one! Plus, lighting the Community Christmas tree and a special tradition at a local church.

Of course we have to visit the town of this name! Reminds us of the true “Reason for the season.” As the "Christmas City," Bethlehem takes its name seriously, from their famous “Christkindmarket,” which features local arts and crafts, the Christmas City stroll with horse drawn trolley rides, and more!

Featured in the hit movie Steel Magnolias, this small town lives up to the hype! We explore and celebrate the honor of the Miss Merry Christmas pageant, Holiday Fireworks over the water, famous local meat pies and southern hospitality, as well as the festival of lights that runs for 40 days.

The birthplace of Sweet Tea turns into a Christmas movie during the Holidays! We will explore the main street tree lighting, local ice skating park, famous Christmas window displays and some of the oldest church services in the South.
