In 2022, America’s best December events range from a multitude of Old World Christmas markets and festivals that offer a look back into holidays past to a myriad of wonderful light displays, tree lighting ceremonies, lighted boat parades and everything in between. This, of course, is to say nothing of all the fun New Year’s Eve celebrations (potato drop, anyone?) scheduled to finish the year in style.
