Christmas: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Christmas is a small unincorporated community located in Orange County, Florida, United States. The town gets its unique name from Fort Christmas, which was built in the area during the Second Seminole War in December 1837. This historical connection is preserved today through Fort Christmas Historical Park, which features a full-scale replica of the original fort and several pioneer-era buildings.

The community, while small, maintains its distinctive character with a year-round Christmas theme, including permanent holiday decorations and a post office that receives mail from people wanting their cards and letters postmarked from "Christmas, Florida." The area's cultural heritage is closely tied to both its military history and early Florida pioneer life, offering visitors a glimpse into the state's past through its preserved historical structures and educational programs.
