Most people in Jersey know that Cape May is a great town to spend a day, a weekend, or an entire vacation.

Whether it's during the dog days of summer or in the middle of winter Cape May always has something to offer.

It's an especially magical place during the holiday season, so much so that it was recently named HGTV's favorite Christmas town in America!

That's a big deal, HGTV could have picked any town from any state in the country and yet it selected one of Jeresy's most beloved towns.

According to APP, there are a few reasons Cape May was selected as the TV network's favorite spot during Christmas.

The quaint gas-lit downtown was one reason, the perfect and gorgeous Victorian houses decorated for Christmas were another reason, and of course, they had to mention the candle-lit house tour the town offers at Christmas.

In addition, APP reports that HGTV loves the fact that the town has holiday-themed trolley rides which are a blast, Congress Hall opens a festive little shopping area for people, and there's a Winter Wonderland Breakfast with Santa for the kids.
