If you want to soak up Christmas charm in Alabama this year, head to Foley, about 12 miles north of Gulf Shores in Baldwin County.

That’s the word from Mixbook, a California company that helps people to create custom photo books, card and calendars. To celebrate the holiday season, Mixbook polled 3,000 families, asking them to pinpoint towns with the strongest Christmas vibes.

Alabama took four spots in the top 75, according to a press release, but failed to rank among the top 10 most “Christmassy” towns. Foley came in at No. 13 on the list, followed by Andalusia at No. 25, Theodore at No. 28 and Wicksburg at No. 70.

Alabama people may beg to differ, especially those who tout the annual holiday festivities in Cullman, Fairhope, Gadsden, Demopolis, Prattville and other cities throughout the state.

Admitted, Alabama doesn’t typically get an abundance of snow, creating a traditional winter wonderland. But consider that Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, which averages a mere 6 inches of snow per year, tops the Mixbook list, and the North Pole — Santa’s majorly snowy hometown! — is rated at No. 10.

The ability to build a snowman seems to be just one factor in the poll, which resulted in the following top 10:

1. Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
2. Durango, Colorado.
3. Lake Placid, New York.
4. Stowe, Vermont.
5. Alexandria, Virginia.
6. Old Saybrook, Connecticut.
7. Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
8. Holland, Michigan.
9. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
10. North Pole, Alaska.

Here’s what Mixbook had to say about the Alabama cities that did make the list:

FOLEY, No. 13:

“One of the town’s highlights is its annual Christmas parade, which brings together the community in a display of festive floats, marching bands and joyful celebrations. Local shops and businesses contribute to the holiday spirit by decorating their storefronts and offering seasonal treats and gifts. The nearby Foley Railroad Museum adds a touch of historical magic with its model train exhibits, delighting visitors of all ages. Foley’s mild winter weather allows for outdoor activities and gatherings, making it a pleasant place to enjoy traditional holiday events in a comfortable setting.”

ANDALUSIA, No. 25:

“During the festive season, this quaint town transforms into a winter wonderland, draped in twinkling lights and festive decorations that line the streets and historic buildings, creating a postcard-perfect setting. The air is filled with the aroma of gingerbread and hot cocoa, as local bakeries and cafes embrace the holiday spirit. Community events, like carol singing and Christmas parades, foster a sense of togetherness and warmth. The centerpiece of the celebrations is often a grand, beautifully decorated Christmas tree that becomes a gathering point for residents and visitors alike.”

THEODORE, No. 28:

“A standout attraction in Theodore during Christmas is the Bellingrath Gardens and Home’s ‘Magic Christmas in Lights.’ This spectacular event features over three million twinkling lights in a dazzling display throughout the 65-acre estate. Visitors can stroll through the beautifully illuminated gardens, enjoying the festive scenes and holiday music, making it a magical experience for all ages. The historic Bellingrath Home, adorned with traditional holiday decor, offers guided tours, providing a glimpse into the festive traditions of the South. This combination of stunning light displays and historic charm adds a unique touch to the holiday celebrations in Theodore.”

WICKSBURG, No. 70:

“Wicksburg’s community-centric spirit shines brightly during the holiday season, with local events that bring residents and visitors together in celebration. One of the highlights is the annual Christmas parade, a vibrant display of festively decorated floats, marching bands, and community groups, encapsulating the joyous spirit of the season. The local churches and community centers often host Christmas plays and live Nativity scenes, adding to the town’s quaint and cozy holiday atmosphere.”

What you do think, Alabama folks? Did Mixbook get it right or is its list of “Christmassy” towns an epic fail? Birmingham is no slouch when it comes to Christmas events, as far as we’re concerned, and the residents of Huntsville are no Grinches.
