NEW YORK (PIX11) -- For those looking to get out of the city this holiday season, there's one upstate New York town that is a must-visit.
According to Mixbook, Lake Placid ranks number three as the most festive town in the United States.
"The town embraces the spirit of the season with a warm, small-town ambiance, adorned with twinkling lights and elegant decorations that line its streets and shops, creating a storybook-like setting," the photo-book brand said.
Travelers can enjoy a picturesque setting with the snow-covered Adirondack Mountains as the backdrop. There's a plethora of outdoor winter activities, including skiing, skating, and bobsledding.
Lake Placid also promises unique events, like the Holiday Village Stroll, featuring carolers, horse-drawn carriage rides, and festive markets, according to Mixbook.
