You better watch out, you better not cry; you better not pout, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town! Whether or not you like Christmas, you’d better get used to the fact that it will be here before you know it, as evidenced by most decorated streets and cities around the Mount Rushmore State. While nearly every SoDak town becomes aglow this time of year, one stands out as being even more magnificent than the rest, which is the iconic Mitchell:

Known both near and far for its one-of-a-kind Corn Palace, Mitchell is arguably the most beautiful Christmas town in South Dakota thanks, in part, to its dazzling main street!
