This NorCal Town Transforms into a Victorian Christmas Wonderland Every Saturday in December
December has arrived, meaning people are donning their homes with Christmas lights, decorating their trees with ornaments and looking for every reason to enjoy America’s favorite holiday. In Northern California, we found the perfect way to celebrate Christmas this year.
Every Saturday in December, the Historic town of McCloud transforms its streets into a whimsical Victorian winter wonderland. This monthlong sip-and-shop includes wagon rides and carolers, along with a long list of weekly events, right under the shadow of Mount Shasta.
Each week will include different activities and new surprises for visitors. Here is a full schedule of events:
