What is Christmas in July?
It’s an unofficial holiday to celebrate Christmas during the summer month of July. In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s ironic because July is typically hot and sunny which is the complete opposite of the cold and snowy conditions of the actual Christmas month of December.
How did this Christmas In July start?
Christmas in July first started at Keystone Camp in Brevard, NC in 1933, according to Country Living. The campers and guests gathered around a decorated stage with a Christmas Tree and carolers singing cheery Christmas songs. They even had Santa Claus and imitation snow to give it a more authentic holiday scene.
