Aspen

The 12 Days of Aspen event, which lasts for the final 12 days of December every year, makes this old mining town another well-liked Christmas vacation spot. Although Aspen and neighboring Snowmass are well known for their outstanding skiing and snowboarding in the winter - Aspen just celebrated its 75th anniversary as a ski resort in 2022 - on varied terrain, there are lots of other things to do, especially around Christmas.

You may find anything from kid's ornament workshops and stocking decorating classes to story hours and cookie-making classes during the 12-day festival. Additionally, there are fireworks displays, magic performances, and movie screenings. Christmas in Aspen Colorado is a spirit-filled, twinkling event that lasts for a good couple of months, and it’s definitely worth attending. There are many adult-themed events as well, such as private snowcat trips, set-course gourmet meals, and live music, if you're aiming to have a romantic Christmas for two.
