The shops will be handing out food and drink (both leaded and un-leaded), songs will be sung by Christmas Carolers roaming through the village, sales in the stores, and wow is New Preston beautiful at Christmas time! OK, New Preston is pretty amazing any time of year, but this is very special. Head on over between 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm and enjoy one of the most beautiful Villages in Litchfield County!

I love Litchfield County, and this time of year is a very big reminder of why Christmas in Connecticut is so near and dear to my heart! And of course if you want to come from New York city and spend a Christmas in Connecticut type of weekend, it is just 90 minutes from downtown Manhattan. There are plenty of amazing places to stay in the area, from Kent to Washington and beyond. The Hopkins Inn on Lake Waramaug, The Rooster Tail in Warren, The Mayflower in Washington, The Inn at Kent Falls in Kent just to name a few.
