Coming in at #7 was Bellingrath Home & Gardens, a gem in the Gulf Coast town of Theodore, Alabama. Here’s how they describe the charming spot:

“This public garden and home is the historic residence of Walter Bellingrath, who was one of the first Coca-Cola bottlers in the Southeast. Here you can enjoy more than 400 varieties of Alabama’s State Flower, camellias, as well as beautiful tropicals in the summer.”

Magic Christmas in Lights glows for the last time on January 3, but we’re already looking forward to visiting again in 2024’s holiday season.
