Holiday House Tours

Every December, thousands of people join in one of America's favorite pastimes: snooping around their neighbors' homes. And usually its for a good cause. We've compiled a sampling of homes across the country, open to the public and decorated for the holidays. Some states have multiple tours and we've linked to news articles which list many options. For a few states, we had to get creative and include holiday museum tours. In any case, get out there and have fun!
