If Christmas in July sounds appealing, then there's a special place for you in Indiana. "America's Christmas Hometown" is riddled with holiday attractions like the only post office with the Santa Claus name, Santa's Candy Castle -- a fully restored 22ft-tall Santa Statue from 1935 deemed the world's oldest -- and plenty of younger replicas around town for selfies with Santa. Alternatively, you could visit Christmas, MI or Noel, MO. But definitely send your letters to Santa here.
