Best cities to find the holiday spirit

It is the time of year when people just want to embrace everything the holidays have to offer. Some cities provide a more enriched, festive atmosphere than others, which is why AOL Travel created a list of the best places in America for those who may want to move to a place where they can get into the celebratory spirit.

New York City was named the most festive of all the cities in the country, according to the site. There might not be a better place in the world to experience the holiday season, as many people can't think of Christmas or New Years without thinking of New York City. Attractions such as The Radio City Christmas Spectacular, Rockefeller Center and Central Park are all some individuals need to fully embrace the holiday spirit.

A city that is known for a year-round festive atmosphere, New Orleans, Louisiana, came in as the site's second best place to find and enjoy the holiday spirit. Besides all the streets and buildings being decked out in Christmas decorations, the city celebrates a holiday festival that lasts one month, known as Papa Noel.

Travelers planning on moving to New York for the holidays should remember to dress warm during the winter. The average high temperature in the Big Apple in December is 41 degrees, according to ny.com.
