Jersey Shore Town Is America's Favorite For Christmas

This town is beautiful year-round, but especially so during the Christmas season, making it a festive family favorite.

CAPE MAY, NJ — The Victorian architecture of Cape May is one of the highlights of the Jersey Shore, and it's only made even more beautiful during the holiday season. That's why this beautiful seaside resort was named one of America's favorite "Christmassy" towns.

Mixbook, a photo book brand, polled 3,000 families to find their favorite festive destinations. The number one pick was Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. But coming in at number 53 was New Jersey's own Cape May.

"These towns, with their rich traditions, embody the essence of the holiday season, making them popular destinations for families and holiday enthusiasts," Mixbook said.
