The AC Hotel is part of the Camperdown area, but deserves it's own entry. A small garden full of lights dots the entrance, with giant nutcracker statues guarding the doors. The interior also has a variety of trees and decorations themed for the holiday season. Both inside and outside it's absolutely amazing.

If you want to stay out of the crowds or the weather is too cold, we'll just drive by it. There is plenty to see even from the side of it. If you want to check it out, we can park and see local honey, clothing, and even freshly made food. It's a great time with an incredibly busy atmosphere.
Bennett Street is packed both with people and decorations. An incredibly active street, there are decorations everywhere. These include a super-cute family of polar bears with penguins riding them. While there aren't as many decorations as Andrea Lane, there is more than enough to enjoy here.
New Realm Brewing is a classic piece of Greenville history, it's in the old cigar warehouse from the 1880s. But more than that, they put up a some awesome lights on their trees there and the city has more lights than usual in the trees around it. If you would like, we can also talk about the history of Greenville on this tour, and this place is a big part of it.
One City Plaza contains a super-cool work of art known as "The Big Dog Show" which is dressed up for the holidays, which you can see in the pictures.

If you want to hear about restaurants in the area during the tour, it also contains one of the best Mexican restaurants and best mixed drink locations in the area.
4 Andrea Lane is known for having an incredible amount of lights and inflatables during the holiday season. From dashing Santas to jolly families of snowmen, it's all here. The vast majority of houses in this area all decorate, and it's all quite beatuiful.
The Bridgeway Station is a food court that is beautiful all year around, done up like an ancient spanish-style building, but it's even better during Christmas. With a huge amount of shopping and food, it's fun to go to no matter what. But now it has Christmas Trees, Nutcrackers, and even a small Santa's Sleigh you can sit in and take a picture. This is another place that, weather and time permitting, we could step out and get a picture at. While we have some shots up, it's even more beautiful than what they show when you see it in person.
