Top Holiday Experiences in Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Montgomery County

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and there aren’t many places as wonderful as Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Montgomery County to visit during the holidays. Whether you’re coming for a weekend or a week-long adventure, we’ve curated a list of our holiday favorites we think you’ll love.

Kick the day off with breakfast and coffee at Bollo’s Café and Bakery in downtown Blacksburg. Feeling something a little sweeter? Have a donut at Route 8 Donuts in Christiansburg or Carol Lee Donuts in Blacksburg. Swing by Brew Da Bean, Space Rabbit Coffee, or Coffeeholics to get your fix of caffeine alongside a wide variety of breakfast treats.

Explore magical downtown Blacksburg with quaint craft shops like New River Art and Fiber for your creative kinfolk. Drop into Blacksburg Books and select a good read to crack open and cozy up with.

Take your little ones to Paint N’ Fun in Christiansburg, where they can show off their inner artist on a selection of over 1,000 different pottery pieces, perfect for a gift for grandma or a family holiday keepsake.

Just down the road from Christiansburg, step into historic Cambria Station Antiques with a wide selection of carefully curated potential presents for friends and family back home. Walk under the famous book arch to enter Old New River Books and uncover lost literature perfect for a snow day.

Adventurous outdoor lovers who are up to brave the cold won’t regret a quick 30-minute trip to Stiles Falls, one of the best waterfall hikes in all of Southwest Virginia. Folks looking for a relaxing stroll through nature will enjoy Pandapas Pond, located just 10 minutes from Blacksburg in Jefferson National Forest.

Venture out to Beliveau Farm Winery for mountain views and authentic flavors. A mere 25-minute drive will take you to a magical retreat for a perfect winter escape.

You really can’t go wrong when deciding on a place to dine, but we suggest enjoying an Appalachian experience at The Farmhouse in Christiansburg with a delicious menu and rustic holiday vibes.

While these are some of our favorite seasonal selections, this list only scratches the surface of the holiday magic that awaits you in Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Montgomery County.
