From the seacoast to the mountains, beautiful photos of covered bridges, cobblestone paths, holiday decor, snowy scenes, and more filled our Instagram feed in the 2015-16 holiday season. We loved seeing photos capturing the quintessential holiday feeling in New England – so much so, in fact, that we put together a collection of our favorite “Holiday Season in New England” photos from our staff and Instagram community to show them off.
