This North Georgia town has been named the state's best spot for Christmas With its 1800s storefronts and great restaurants, Dahlonega is beautiful any time of the year but really sparkles during the Holiday Season. Bedecked in thousands of twinkling lights, a show-stopping two-story Christmas tree on the square and the annual Festival of Trees with brightly decorated Christmas trees on display outside in Hancock Park, the town looks and feels like a holiday wonderland.
