[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have no family to celebrate with this Christmas so I want to take the kids somewhere very over the top, like Hallmark channel Christmas worthy. Can you recommend anywhere within 4 to 5 hour drive? [/quote]

Does this mean you want a small town that is decorated to the hilt and do Christmasy/winter things like:
Go sledding
Decorate cookies
Cut down a tree
Make Christmas ornaments and decorate the tree
Go caroling
Drink hot spice cider 
[b]Find a future spouse, preferably an old beau[/b]
Wrap homemade presents
Go to a tree lighting ceremony in the town square
Make a gingerbread house
Play board games
Go Ice skating
Have some hot chocolate 
Shop at a Christmas market

What am I missing?

LOL
Depending on age of kids, you can add:

Find a new dad for your adorable son, who will promptly fall in love with "New Dad" who calls him "Sport"
Have some tension with your tween daughter who does not want "New Dad" but then will come around when New Dad proposes to mom on Christmas Eve and she sees the magic of their relationship (doesn't hurt that New Dad is taking all of them AND her 3 best girlfriends to Hawaii for a "FamilyMoon"[/quote]

You forgot to mention Old Dad died young and mom is a widow who had no interest in meeting someone new. When she moved to a rural old farmhouse to start her goat cheese farm, she has NO idea it would be so tough. And then the goats got sick! Luckily the new young vet in town does house calls. He didn’t even mind when she accidentally stuck her foot in the milk bucket and fell into his arms accidentally [/quote]

I believe there also has to be some sort of contest involved -- cookie decorating, tree decorating, etc. 
Also, aren't you supposed to save some sort of failing family business?  which is being threatened by some sort of multinational conglomerate?  also, lots of CHristmas caroling.[/quote]
