Winter doesn’t have to be cold in Christmas. This sleepy Florida town between Orlando and Cape Canaveral has a little over 1,200 occupants making it ideal for a quiet warm weekend getaway in the wintertime. At the Fort Christmas Historical Park, visitors can explore a replica of the fort with demonstrations of pioneer life from when early settlers arrived in the area during the 1830s. The Orlando Wetlands Park showcases the beauty of the wetlands and its wildlife with places for hiking, biking, and walking. The quirky town of Christmas also houses the world’s largest alligator-shaped building. Tourists can spot a real gator during one of the many airport adventure tours.
