Are you counting down the days until Christmas? For many Metro Detroiters, the holiday season brings plenty of magic and contagious excitement to the air. The Motor City itself is home to all sorts of fun Christmastime gatherings, but there’s something special about journeying out of the city for a dose of small-town fun each winter. When you’re ready to ring in the season, make your way to one of Metro Detroit’s loveliest and most festive Christmas towns.
Oxford is located in Oakland County, approximately one hour from Detroit.
