Southern Living Magazine has named Alexandria the perfect setting for a Hallmark Christmas movie.
"On an ordinary day, you can enjoy great dining and shopping, a happening Potomac waterfront, and Instagrammable scenics galore. But add Christmas lights and decorations aplenty? You’ll find yourself wondering: 'Was that Candace Cameron Bure I just saw crossing King Street?'" Southern Living wrote.
Here's their full slideshow of reasons, which include the Scottish Christmas Walk weekend, charming boutiques and more. (See the full holiday events calendar here.)
We asked our readers through Facebook to come up with a few plotlines for us of what the Alexandria Hallmark Movie would be. "A conservative political operative meets a liberal association executive and falls in love.... or is that too realistic?" wrote Jeremy Fretts.
