"One of the best Christmas displays in New Mexico is in Old Town Albuquerque, where the historic storefronts and buildings are decked out with holiday decorations. Plan your visit in time to attend the Old Town Holiday Stroll on December 1, during which you'll feel like you're ambling through a southwestern Christmas postcard. New Mexicans also make the trek to areas just outside the city like Cabezon, a neighborhood of Rio Rancho that goes all out with Christmas light displays. In Sandia Heights, the upscale houses are lavishly decorated for the season." - Travel + Leisure Editors
