U.S. Towns with Holiday Names Can Put a Dash of Celebration in Your Trip

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The holiday season is approaching faster than a transatlantic cruise ship, with Thanksgiving only four weeks away. Holiday travel planning and activity can be stressful, so CSA Travel Protection (CSA) offers a list of favorite towns with holiday-themed names to help travelers get in the spirit.

No matter what part of the country you call home, there's a town nearby with a name that sparks the holiday frame of mind:

    1. Holiday - A suburb of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla.
       metropolitan area.
    2. Joy - Double the joy, double the fun. Joy, Ark. is a township in White
       County; and Joy, Ill. is a village with a population of less than 400(1).
    3. Thanksgiving, Md. - A town just about five miles west of Easton.
    4. Turkey - Just like on the meat on Thanksgiving, there's an abundance of
       towns named Turkey. You'll find one in Ky., N.C., Ohio, Texas and W.Va.
    5. Pie, W.Va. - If you live in or near W.Va., you can enjoy as much Turkey
       and Pie as you can stand in one day.
    6. Pumpkin - You'll find Pumpkin, Ga. northeast of Atlanta, and Pumpkin,
       Texas is adjacent to the Sam Houston National Forest.
    7. Cranberry - It's anyone's guess if the residents prefer them dried,
       sauced or jelled, but you'll find towns named after these tart little
       berries in Md., N.C., Pa. and W.Va.
    8. Eggnog, Utah - It's most likely difficult to find a rum version of this
       popular drink here.
    9. Chestnut - Go a little nuts and take a drive to a town called Chestnut in
       Ala., Ill., Ky., La., Mont. or W.Va.

    10. Snowflake - No two towns named Snowflake, whether in Ariz., Va. or
        W.Va., are alike.
