If you want to ski away your Christmas vacation, or just want a simple snowy Christmas celebration, this former mining town is the place for your family this year.

The setting couldn�t be more perfect. Breckenridge has a beautiful old town with more than 200 Victorian era buildings, fully preserved by the local ordinances and the historical preservations society. Main Street, covered in snow, is a Christmas out of an old Dickens classic. Added to this is the month long celebration of your favorite holiday. Breckenridge goes all out to provide all the pageantry your last Christmas may have been lacking. They recently opened a 38,000 square foot indoor ice rink, strategically placed next door to the older outdoor rink. Be sure to come for the tree lighting on December 9, when Santa Claus will light up the tree, officially kicking off the Christmas Season. From that moment until the New Year, the town will be in celebration mode, and they are waiting for you to join the Summit County fun!
