Get In The Christmas Spirit; In Hershey!

Looking for a fun week-end getaway central to East Coasters? The magic and spirit of the holidays come to life in the little town that chocolate built. Hershey, Pennsylvania is a magical place at Christmas. The whole town lights up and joins in the celebration. Your first stop should be Hersheypark Christmas Candylane. They have a million twinkling lights, rides for all ages, and great festive decorations that anyone would love! Candylane is open almost every day through New Year’s – but it’s best to check their web site for specific times and events. There is plenty of parking for even the largest Motorhome.

Also, don’t forget to take a drive through downtown Hershey where the lampposts are literally shaped like Hershey Kisses. While driving, you can also enjoy the holiday lights drive-thru called Hershey Sweet Lights. They have nearly 600 illuminated and animated displays you view from the comfort of your car as you drive through two miles of fields and wooded trails. RV’s and buses are permitted but in past years they could only drive part of the display. If you plan to drive your RV – it’s best to call and ask.

Nearby, Hershey’s Highmeadow Campground is open year round – depending on capacity they may even run a free shuttle over to Candylane. The campground is owned and run by Hershey and is less than a mile from the park.
