Montana Snubbed On Hallmark’s Best Christmas Town List

I know it's ridiculous to start talking about the holidays, but I was in Costco the other day, and they already had Christmas decorations on display.

I don't know about you, but I love me some Christmas. It's my favorite time of the year. The music, the lights, the decorations, all of it. It's just a really special time and there's nothing like a Montana Christmas...or is there?

I'm not one to stir the pot, but I'm afraid I can't let this go. I mean, if I was to ask you for a town that looks like a Hallmark backdrop here in Montana, what would you say? Livingston? Red Lodge? Phillipsburg? Whitefish? Bozeman? All of them? It seems to me that we have lots of places that would be the perfect backdrop for one of those cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies.

What's the best town for Christmas in Montana?

Apparently the folks at Hallmark are looking for America's Merriest Christmas Town and the have narrowed it down to 25 finalists. Ok, sounds good right? Yeah, until you look at the list and see that not one Montana town is on it. I know, I know, some of you are fine with that. However, some of us are not. How can you have a list of 25 Christmas towns and not include one from Montana?

Oregon made the list as did Washington, but those were the only states in our region to make the list. Also, how are you going to put both Florida and Texas on that list? Any place that you have to run the AC 11 months of the year should not be on best Christmas town list.
