Sitting on 500 stunning acres of ponderosa pine and snow-capped mountain peaks, Flagstaff's Little America Hotel sparkles with holiday magic in winter. Join locals and guests from all over the world for the Holiday Lights Festival, beginning with an official lighting ceremony in November. Watch as more than 2 million colored lights illuminate the forest, and listen for Santa as you sip complimentary hot cider. Caroling and cookies are happy endings for the initial ceremony, but the extravaganza of lights continues through mid January. See website for yearly particulars.
