Residents of the great state of Michigan certainly know and love Bronner's, but it has the potential to be a national treasure as far as Christmas is concerned.
Simply put, as Bronner's itself states, it's a Christmas wonderland.
Located in beautiful Frankenmuth, Michigan -- an old-style Bavarian town located just an hour and change outside of Detroit - Bronner's is billed as the largest Christmas store in the world, and it lives up to the hype.
You could spend hours in Bronner's, looking at decorations, ordering custom ornaments and even finding all the accessories you would need to become your own Santa.
If you're ever in Eastern Michigan, Frankenmuth is a must-visit location. And if you love Christmas, you just can't miss Bronner's.

Santa's Magical Kingdom
Tucked away on a hillside in Eureka, Missouri, which is just about 45 minutes West of St. Louis, is Jellystone Park - a camping resort affiliated with the Six Flags right down the road.
The park is, of course, based on Yogi Bear and his band of friends, and while renting one of the cabins in the summer time is certainly fun - Jellystone really comes alive during the Christmas season.
Starting in November and running through the first part of January, Jellystone transforms into Santa's Magical Kingdom, which truly is magical. The camp grounds are staged and lit up with thousands upon thousands of themed Christmas decorations and lights.
As you drive through, popular light displays include Elfland, The Tunnel of Dancing Lights and a miniature version of the St. Louis Arch. Your kids can drop off letters to Santa at "the North Pole," but that's assuming you can get them to look away from the lights long enough to do so.
