Cape May’s charm during the holiday season has earned it recognition as HGTV’s favorite small town to visit in New Jersey for Christmas. Its blend of historic architecture, festive events, and seaside beauty makes it a must-see destination during the holidays.

Here's what HGTV had to say in their article:

Practically every American town celebrates Christmas in some way, but these small towns all across the country stand out for holiday traditions and vibes that are worth a trip with the family. Yes, there are the winter wonderlands offering light shows, sleigh rides, holiday performances, caroling, parades and Christmas markets. But there are also small towns that include local traditions, too, like a parade with horses and hounds, lobster boat rides and an elf scavenger hunt. All promise to deliver a storybook Christmas filled with candy canes, hot chocolate and Santa.

Cape May, New Jersey

Cape May is famous for its picturesque Victorian architecture. During the holiday season, its gaslit streets and wall-to-wall historic architecture set the tone for the holidays. Visitors can enjoy the Cape May Christmas Candlelight House Tour, where beautifully decorated homes open their doors to the public. Cape May also offers holiday-themed trolley rides, festive shopping at Congress Hall's Winter Wonderland and a kids' breakfast with Santa.
