Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Holiday Magic in the One and Only Christmas City

As festive and cheerful as Santa's North Pole workshop, Lehigh Valley's Christmas City exudes holiday spirit from the moment you arrive. While families start preparing for the season, Discover Lehigh Valley®, the destination marketing organization dedicated to promoting tourism in Pennsylvania's Lehigh and Northampton counties, shares a sneak peek of the magic that visitors can enjoy while discovering Bethlehem, also known as the Christmas City, during the holiday season.

"For over 275 years, Bethlehem has been the center of holiday festivities thanks to its establishment on Christmas Eve and locals later coining it the Christmas City. From Main Street lined with twinkling lights and historic buildings decorated with charming candles to aisles of handmade gifts at Christkindlmarkt and stunningly decorated trees at Hotel Bethlehem, Christmas City truly embodies the holidays and is a site to be seen," said Alicia Quinn, strategic brand manager for Discover Lehigh Valley. "Plus, if you love this time of year as much as I do, the holiday spirit goes well beyond Bethlehem. Throughout Lehigh Valley, there are plenty of joyful festivities for visitors to enjoy, including some of the most spectacular light displays."
