How to Spend the Holidays in Charleston
"A grand downtown hotel that stages nightly artificial snow during a seasonal "Let It Snow" event (hourly shows at 5, 6 and 7 p.m., plus an extra 4 p.m. slot on weekends; free admission with tickets and a 15-minute queue) and hosts a Festival of Trees featuring locally designed trees guests can vote on. The property also offers an elevated Nutcracker Tea with ballet performances and themed desserts (tickets starting around $165 per adult and $135 per child) and a life-size gingerbread house where children can write letters to Santa." - Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders is a writer and editor based in North Carolina.
