Boston, USA

Ever since the 17th century, when the Puritans banned Christmas in Boston, the city has been trying to make up for this lapse in Yuletide judgment. There is an abundance of Christmas markets, with candlelit carol singing popping up everywhere. Festive shows, ice-skating on frozen lakes and the lovely Faneuil Hall tree and Stone Zoo's Zoolights even with its amazing lightshow are just some of the winter wonderland things on offer.
