If you’re looking for early chances of thick, heavy snow in December, the Twin Cities in Minnesota is your best shot. The beautiful views are capped off with holiday-themed activities including opportunities to dress up as historical figures at the signature “Folkways of the Holidays” events.
Flower lovers need not wait for spring either to see some of the most beautiful flowers. At the Twin Cities’ annual Holiday Flower Show, different varieties of poinsettias take center stage.
