Downtown Williamsburg Travel Guide

Williamsburg

Christmastime is the most joyful of seasons in Colonial Williamsburg, and certainly the best time to visit. The entire town is adorned with handmade wreaths such as this one, all containing fresh fruit or unique items that correspond with the building they're placed on. Steaming colonial-style hot chocolate is served by a few of the buildings, and fireplaces are aplenty.
