    Winter Wonderland, Hyde Park, London 

    Londoners looking for a jolly good holiday time head to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, a Christmas festival featuring London's largest outdoor ice rink, an ice- and snow-sculpture display, a Christmas-themed Circus, a 200-foot-tall observation wheel, and Santa Land, filled with games, children's rides and even Santa's Factory.

    The festival's Bavarian Village is another popular spot. There, visitors can experience a German-style Christmas market, complete with mulled wine and Bratwurst. 

    Holiday shoppers can find unique gifts at the Yuletide Market or Angels Christmas Market, where they'll discover more than 150 vendors hawking handmade crafts and holiday decorations.

There's a Dickens festival every year in Galveston, TX also (Dickens on the Strand) ... and it's not just one building "transformed" like in SanFran, it's the whole street!

The Natchitoches Christmas lights are absolutely beautiful. If you haven't been to Natchitoches during the Christmas season, you're missing out. :)
