Whether you are looking or a unique way to celebrate the holidays or are traveling to see family in northern Georgia, you can rest assured that you will enjoy the magic of the Christmas season when you stay in one of the luxurious Helen cabin rentals. There are plenty of things to do and see that will bring you some extra holiday cheer while allowing you to connect with your loved ones. Are you trying to make plans for next Christmas? If you missed this past Christmas, here’s a taste of what you can expect if you’re planning to visit cabins in the Georgia mountains during the next Holiday Season.
The Magical Village of Helen
The quaint little alpine village of Helen is in love with the holiday season! The town’s main street is fully decorated for Christmas, with each storefront illuminated by beautiful holiday lights, holiday garlands on the old fashioned street lamps, lavishly decorated Christmas trees, and wreaths and ornaments as far as the eye can see. You will feel as though you have stepped into the magical world of the North Pole! Of course you don’t want to skip out on the Helen Christmas Shoppe! This fun, holiday themed store will bring up warm memories from the moment you see it, as the exterior is decorated with a Santa figurine, his sleigh, and more! Once inside you will enjoy the wintry scene of a festively decorated shop that is made to resemble a family home during the holidays as you browse through Christmas figurines, ornaments, and other holiday decor. Maybe you’ll even feel inspired to pick up a few things and decorate your cabin for the duration of your stay!
An Old Fashioned Christmas in Dahlonega
Just a short jaunt away from the cabins in Helen is the city of Dahlonega. Most famous for its Gold Rush History, Dahlonega is also the home to the annual Old Fashioned Christmas celebration which runs from November through December annually. A festively decorated town square featuring magnificent light and tree displays will allow you to experience the joy and magic of the season with your nearest and dearest. You can expect to hear live Christmas music as the square features carolers on a daily basis. Your kids won’t need to 
worry that Santa won’t be able to find them at the Helen cabin rentals – you can take them to visit Old Saint Nick every Saturday and Sunday afternoon so that they can give him the directions that he needs. The Old Fashioned Christmas also boasts old fashioned trolley rides through the town, as well as horse-drawn carriage rides. In addition to all of this, be sure to check out the following three upcoming events:
- Peppermint Stick Dipping – Returning, by popular demand, the famous talented candy makers form Paul Thomas Chocolates teach children to dip their own peppermint sticks into warm, velvety, mouth-watering chocolates! The annual peppermint stick dipping usually takes place in mid-December, from 11am – 2pm.
- Welcome to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate World – Can’t get enough of Paul Thomas Chocolates? Also in mid-December, Paul Thomas chocolatiers will demonstrate the magic of chocolate and candy making for a day. Because space is limited, the store recommends making a reservation, upon discovering the scheduled date, by calling (760) 864-6333.
- It’s a Wonderful Life – The favorite holiday classic is a traditional favorite, performed live on stage, near the Helen cabin rentals! The Holly Theater proudly presents their theatrical production of “It’s a Wonderful Life” from mid-December through Christmas. Check the Holly Theater website for details on times and tickets for this and other performances.
Amicalola Deer Park
Another magical holiday experience to enjoy is a trip to the Amicalola Deer Park. Every weekend until Christmas, you and your family will be able to visit Santa and all of his “rein”deer at the park. You will be delighted as you are given the opportunity to ride on a sleigh-hay ride to Santa’s cabin where you will watch your children feed the deer and take a picture with the big man himself.
The Warmth of Your Cabin
Renting a cabin allows you the perfect opportunity to get into the spirit of Christmas and come together. You can bake holiday cookies and candies and even cook up a gourmet Christmas meal right in your private kitchen. Enjoy a holiday movie on your big screen TV, spend an evening of conversation in front of a crackling fire while sipping on cider, or just get some much needed R&R in the hot tub.
How will you spend your Christmas in the Helen?
