Mystic Seaport Home to Best Christmas Tree in CT, List Says

STONINGTON, CT - Connecticut is full of beautiful Christmas trees, the tall and the small; but one particular tree stands tall above them all.

At least, according to a recently released list it does.

Travel website Travel + Leisure recently released a list of the best Christmas tree in every state across the country. Naturally, it included a hat tip to what they perceived to be the best one in Connecticut.

The website chose Mystic Seaport’s substantially large Christmas tree as the best in the state. The tree stands tall throughout the holiday season, located not far off from the famed Mystic drawbridge.

The website mentions the annual lighted boat parade as a particularly enticing aspect of the seaport’s tree. The parade is typically marked by the arrival of Santa Claus in a tugboat.

The list does not rank the trees in each state, instead listing them in alphabetical order. The list includes a number of seasonal highlights from across the country that leaves residents pining for the holiday season the moment it’s gone.

Other trees mentioned on the list include the gigantic French Market tree in New Orleans, the inventive lobster trap tree in Rockland, Maine, and of course the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in Manhattan.

Keep the holiday cheer going and view the full list at Travel + Leisure.
