"It's a Hallmark Christmas" enters second year

WORLAND – Last year the town rallied together to help decorate main street from head to toe with Christmas decorations. This year is proving no different.

Last year, Worland resident Brittany Tidemann started a new tradition in town called “It’s a Hallmark Christmas.” The tradition involves businesses and citizens of Worland rallying together to help make Worland look like a town out of a Christmas Hallmark movie.

Businesses are asked to decorate for Christmas. However, if they are unable to, they can put their business up for adoption and individuals in town can adopt it to decorate it. Those individuals are then responsible for decorating and cleaning it up.

There’s no deadline for how soon the business needs decorated. Tidemann explained last year was very short notice and was followed by a surge of COVID-19. She added that there are not a lot of rules, just to decorate.

Those interested in decorating a business can visit the It’s a Hallmark Christmas Facebook page to find out which businesses are still up for adoption and who they should contact in order to adopt it.
