Hallmark Channel is co-operatively providing Live-Cams (using EarthCam LiveCam) of five cities celebrating Christmas. It's not a zoom event but a stationary camera!

The five cities the Hallmark Channel is streaming a live-cam from 10am - 10pm are:

Bethlehem, Pennsylvania - "The Christmas City" has an exciting and unique heritage: 275-year-old bookstore and the first college in America to educate women, the Moravian immigrants of 1741 established a tradition of a Christmas in Bethlehem utilizing much of the community.  This "Christmas in Bethlehem" has been replicated and duplicated across much of the country thru Church community events. 

Corning, New York (Gaffer District) - A gaffer is a glass blower.  Corning is the home of not only Corning Glass  (see associated story - ) but also it's historically  known as the "Crystal City" due to numerous producers of cut glass between 1880 and 1915, as well as Steuben Glass.  The city was named after Erastus Corning, one of the founders of Corning Glass Works.  Country Living Magazine named Corning, NY, one of “America’s 25 Best Small Towns for Christmas.”    The Corning Museum of Glass has one of the most extensive collections of glass in the world.

Harbor Springs, Michigan - " is a charming waterfront community that lies in a sheltered bay on the north shore of Little Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan.  Harbor Springs lies along the deepest harbor in the Great Lakes".  Harbor Springs residents, by vote on a ballot initiative, rejected fluoride in their water. 

St. Paul, Minnesota - is the second of the twin cities Minneapolis/St. Paul home of Target Corporation. The population of St. Paul grew from the 1840s-1930s, when one million French Canadians moved to primarily Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Another growth occurred on the heels of a  typhoid epidemic of 1898, blamed on "convenient transportation and an increasingly dense population" AND immigrants from Europe.  St. Paul continues today as a unrecognized melting pot offering varied celebrations for Christian & Muslim holidays.

St. Petersburg, Florida (Enchant - The World’s Largest Christmas Light Maze & Village).  St Petersburg is also the home of QVC!
