Snow, lights, candy and cakes, roller coasters, pixies, and fireworks in the Tivoli Gardens Market.

It's on the grounds of the oldest amusement park in the world, so it's no surprise they host fireworks at the end of Christmas!

2. Marienplatz, Munich, home to a 100-foot tree. Seriously.

Mulled wine, gingerbread, all the usual market fare, and oh, also a 100-foot Christmas tree. But really, how could you miss it?

3. Rockefeller Center, New York City, where you can ice skate below the world's most famous tree.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a Christmas staple. As an added bonus, go for a skate in the adjacent ice rink.

4. Harvard University in Boston, home of the beloved Christmas Revels.

The snow-covered cobblestones in Boston set a very Christmas-y stage, but the real magic is at Harvard's Sanders Theater. The University hosts a yearly performance called The Christmas Revels, a concert with a different world-focus every year.

5. Old Town Square in Prague, where you can get a real 'Trdelník' (traditional hot sugar-coated pastry).

Even if you missed Light's Night, there are still a ton of rides and attractions to behold in this Scottish Christmas celebration in the town centre.

7. The Winter Wonderland in London, a holiday party you can also observe from 196 feet above.

Another incredible holiday experience runs through the holiday season in Hyde Park, London — circuses, markets, and all sorts of attractions help the Winter Wonderland live up to its name. And you can also ride the adjacent giant observation wheel for a spectacular view.

8. The official Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska, where you can even meet the reindeer.

The official home of Santa exists in Alaska. It's "Christmas all year round" according to the website. As an added bonus, a lot of the streets are Christmas themed!

9. New Orleans, where City Park's famous oaks are draped with hundreds of thousands of lights.

It's magical winter spectacle scattered throughout 13 acres of gated park, including Botanical Garden, Storyland, Carousel Gardens, and the infamous "Who Dat" Tree!
