\n10. Baltimore, MD<\/p>\n
When it comes to Christmastime magic, it seems that \u201c34th Streets\u201d across the country are a bona fide breeding ground for just that. Just look to Baltimore\u2019s Hampden neighborhood each holiday season, where for more than 60 years, a charming block of row houses on 34th street has been transformed into what\u2019s been dubbed \u201cChristmas Street\u201d and the \u201cMiracle on 34th Street.\u201d Residents come together in a labor of love to bedeck their properties with a holiday hodgepodge of larger-than-life snow globes, flashing angels, musical trains, and blinking lights galore \u2013 a handful of the homes will even allow visitors inside to peek into their indoor Christmas wonderlands, as well (November 26\u2013January 1; free; www.christmasstreet.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n Try and coordinate your visit with the colorful \u201cParade of Lighted Boats,\u201d an event where more than 50 vessels festooned with holiday lights illustrate Baltimore\u2019s nautical and Christmas spirit on December 3 (free; www.fpyc.net<\/a>). Plus, new for 2011, the harbor-front Power Plant building will shine with holiday lights, lasers, and 3D effects during early evening hourly show times (now\u2013December 31; free; www.itsawaterfrontlife.org<\/a>).
