Merry and Bright in Corinth, Mississippi
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, especially in Corinth, Mississippi! When walking around downtown, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported right into the scene of a Hallmark Christmas movie, where believing in magic is completely accepted and holiday cheer abounds.
One of the best ways to experience the magic of Corinth is to take part in the 60 Sights in 60 Minutes Walking Tour! All the beautiful historic homes in Corinth come alive with festive decorations, and it’s a wonderful way to learn about all of the history-laden areas of this charming town in this one-mile walk. Grab a delicious seasonal coffee from Corinth’s famous SoCo Grind (we love their Gingerbread Latte or the Christmas Cookie Coffee), ensure you’re bundled up in a comfy coat from Canyon Moon Boutique, and grab a good pair of walking shoes from Joe’s Shoes before you set out on your holiday stroll in Corinth, where many of the historic homes and buildings are over 100 years old and were built in the 1800s. While traversing this tour, you’ll come across Trailhead Yard which transforms into Peppermint Park during the holiday season, making the tour even more of a yuletide treat! You can also take a detour at the historic Corinth Coke Museum which has been in downtown Corinth for over a century and contains hundreds of items from Coca-Cola's bubbly past.
The Frazier Christmas Light Show, located at the corner of Taylor and 4th, is another must-see on your merry way, as the entire home is transformed into a winter wonderland complete with music, lights, and a full holiday display directly projected onto the house! Additionally, the entirety of downtown Corinth is strung with 20,000 twinkling lights, making a nighttime stroll truly breathtaking. Court Square is especially festive and lined with decorations that make for a perfect photo-op for the family! Merchants and restaurants in the downtown area are also participating in the holiday spirit by extending their nighttime hours and offering special holiday deals so that you can shop for everyone on your nice list. Refuel for your fa la la la fun with a bite to eat at Conservatory by Vicari for elevated dishes or hit up Buck’s BBQ and Burgers for a burger and brew. ‘Tis the season for tasty treats and holly jolly cocktails!
If your holiday spirit can’t be satisfied in just one too-short winter day, make it a point to stay a little longer and soak in all the jingle bell joy in Corinth by booking your stay at Generals’ Quarters (the oldest hotel in Corinth) for a luxury boutique hotel experience that’s sparkling with Southern hospitality. Wake up to a delicious breakfast at the hotel, and then hit the town for more holiday shopping from unique spots like Hoochies Boutique for affordable and cute clothing and gifts, Kates and Co for intriguing home pieces, or Sanctuary Antiques for one-of-a-kind treasures that you can’t find anywhere else. Of course, no visit to Corinth is complete without a visit to Mississippi’s oldest drugstore, Borroum's Drug Store, for a slugburger and a drink from their old-fashioned soda fountain. Borroum’s is big on nostalgia—and it’s the perfect place to make a new favorite memory with your loved ones!
Corinth, Mississippi, is merry and magical this time of year – come for the charming hometown holiday wonder and stay for great shopping, delicious eats, and historic sites you simply have to see to believe. Make your list of things to do (and check it twice!), then jingle all the way to Corinth, Mississippi, for a festive escape from the every day.
