Celebrate Christmas in Pennsylvania!
When booking a holiday getaway, most folks think of one of two alternatives: a place that is warm and sunny or a place that is cold, snowy, and completely embodies an old-fashioned Christmas. If you fall into the latter category, a Christmas in Pennsylvania will be at the top of your list.
There are so many things to do here in Pennsylvania in the winter and during Christmas that it will be hard to decide what to do while you’re here! We at Ledges Hotel here in Hawley love having guests come to celebrate the holiday season. Here are our some of our top recommendations on how to spend your Christmas in Pennsylvania this year.
Hawley Winterfest
Winterfest is Hawley’s biggest annual event! In 2024, it will take place from December 13 to 15. During Winterfest, the whole town is aglow, and everybody is in the Christmas spirit!
There’s so much to do during Winterfest. Check out local businesses for their holiday bargains and do your last-minute shopping for your loved ones—or even start on next year if you already have that covered! Beyond that, you can enjoy a live nativity, theater at the Ritz Playhouse, horse and carriage rides, an ugly sweater contest, Trees for a Cause, holiday lights, a Beer Tour, Christmas Tree Express train rides, and so much more. There is something for everyone at Winterfest—don’t miss this exciting weekend!
Hawley Santa Christmas Tree Express
All aboard! Your kiddos will love hopping on the Santa Christmas Tree Express. This year, it runs on December 14th at 10 AM, 1 PM, and 4 PM and December 15th at 10 AM and 4 PM.
Hop on board for an exciting (heated) train ride to meet Santa at the Christmas tree farm! Once you get there, your little ones can chat with Santa, pick out a Christmas tree (if you like! It’s not required, and trees are an additional cost), and sip on some complimentary hot cocoa. Your children will remember their magical train ride to meet Santa for years to come!

Hawley isn’t the only town in Pennsylvania that lights up at Christmastime! Take a day trip to nearby Jim Thorpe, PA, to explore even more exciting holiday events.
