Winter in Kansas is always a beautiful time of year, but we’re always waiting for that first real snow. Even if we don’t like the cold or wetness of it, snow still makes our landscapes beautiful, just like a snow globe. Plus, many of them have plenty of decorations or holiday light shows to entertain you while you’re there. Unless Mother Nature waits until next year to start giving us snow, that is. This year, if it snows, why not check out some of these places for the perfect Christmas card shot?
- Cedar Creek Waterfall (Olathe)

- DeSoto
brent flanders/Flickr DeSoto is a quiet little town in Kansas that’s made into the perfect small town setting for a snow globe. Can you imagine shaking a snow globe like this?
- Castle Tea Room (Lawrence)

- Mission
Buildings of Johnson County/Flickr Mission loves their Christmas, and when it snows, it makes a perfect little scene around this decorated tree here.
- Douglas
David DeHetre/Flickr These llamas are adorable, and it’s a good thing they have all this fur to keep them warm in their winter wonderland. I would love a llama snow globe!
- Leawood
Gary Gamso/Flickr This red and white scene is perfect for a postcard, a snow globe, or any other holiday theme you’re looking for. It just shouts “Kansas” and the blanket of snow is a perfect addition.
- Lansing
Luke X. Martin/Flickr Memories of those lost are stark against the snow, yet somehow make a calm scene fit for a snow globe. What do you think?
- Manhattan

- Overland Park

- Sedgwick County Park (Wichita)

After you’re done making snow globes from these gorgeous photos, why not warm yourself up and head out on this amazing Kansas Christmas Lights Weekend we’ve created for you?
