11/7/24: Lancaster County Christmas offers the best kind of holiday wish list

As November turns to December, the holiday wish list becomes a prime focus of attention and conversation. But at heart, the yuletide season is all about traditions and family.

So why not combine the two this year with a Lancaster County Christmas wish list that’s less about getting and more about connecting.


Need some quality time with family and friends? Want to simply celebrate the sheer fun of Christmastime? Looking for some new seasonal memories you’ll cherish for years?

Then head for the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country and a more fulfilling type of holiday wish list, where you and yours can:

  • Revel in our local seasonal cheer during Kitchen Kettle Village’s Christmas fun, or learn about our Pennsylvania German yuletide heritage with Landis Valley Village’s Belsnickle Experience.
  • Delight in the period decorations and stories of “Yuletide at Wheatland” as you see and hear how Christmas was celebrated throughout the home of U.S. President James Buchanan.
  • Explore the many outlet stores at both Tanger and Rockvale for great deals and hard-to-find items.

Lancaster County is a wonderful blend of urban style and rural splendor, with many rich cultures, from the Amish to the arts. Travelers can take in our vibrant downtown city life – with galleries, great dining, specialty shops, and live music – or explore surrounding towns and villages to get a sampling of the heritage, food, craftsmanship, and attractions for which Lancaster is famous.
