Holiday lights · CT
Connecticut's holidays feel like a New England postcard, with snowy village greens, historic seaports and a few big drive-through shows.
Historic village lights Mystic, CT
The museum's re-created 19th-century seaport village is lit for the holidays and opened for self-guided evening visits. Live music, horse-drawn carriage rides and fireside spots give the waterfront an old-time Christmas atmosphere.
Visiting: Held on a limited number of December evenings with timed entry; advance tickets are strongly recommended.
