There's something comforting about a small town. Everyone knows your name. You feel like you personally know everyone in the town. It's just a friendly vibe, in general. In fact, one might say small towns are cuddle-worthy, in the sense that they just want to make you cuddle up with that special someone. Now, one Georgia town has been named one of the "Coziest Hygge" towns in America.

Get Your Comfort and Cuddle On

"Are you ready to embrace the concept of 'hygge' and explore some of the coziest towns in America for a winter weekend getaway?" states MyDatingAdvisor in their new study. If you've never heard of it, the term "Hygge" is a Danish word that "encompasses the feeling of comfort, contentment, and well-being, often achieved through simple pleasures and a sense of coziness," they explain. I've actually heard of that word, because one of my favorite Hallmark movies references it a lot. So, MyDatingAdvisor.com set out to determine the coziest and cuddliest "Hugge" towns in America. To me, the term "Hugge" also brings to mind cuddling with your significant other on a cozy couch, drinking hot cocoa and talking while the fireplace crackles. Sounds fun, right?

Topping the list of the coziest Hugge towns in America is Stockholm, Wisconsin. "Stockholm proudly displays its Swedish heritage, from the comforting cuisine to the snug architecture, making it a haven of coziness for those seeking respite from the chill of winter," MyDatingAdvisor.com states. No. 2 is Stowe, Vermont, and No. 3 is Stanley, Idaho. Rounding out the top five is Ellicottville, New York, at No. 4 and Breckenridge, Colorado, at No. 5.

The highest Georgia city on the list is Helen, at No. 48. It's great to see one of our local towns inside the top 50, but I think it should be higher. Find more of the coziest towns here.

Spring break always arrives at just the right time. It's when the holiday cheer has totally worn off, and it's also right when spring is around the corner but it's not quite here yet. I remember loving spring break in school. But, even if you're not in school or college anymore, why not take a fun spring break trip this year? Thankfully, there are plenty of trendy, cheap spring break destinations available. One Georgia spot is even among the best cheap spring break trips in the US.

If you want to get the most bang for your buck, as they say, stay close to home. It doesn't have to be a staycation. But, why not travel to a town that you've never been to that's within road trip distance? Of course, if you live in a cold climate, you might want to travel to a hot spot. The good news is that a lot of warm spring break destinations have great rates, because tourist is simply their business. So, if you go to a popular spring break spot, chances are they'll have some good deals and be able to cut you a good deal due to just how many people who travel there each year.

The perfect spring break destination is really about getting away from it all. You want a place that fun and exciting. But, you also want a spot that really helps you break away from routine and, hopefully, your electronic devises. Another bonus is if you find a spring break destination near friends who you maybe haven't seen in a while. It can be a really fun trip to find a central location and meet up with long-lost friends.

Read on for some trendy, cheap spring break trips in the United States, including the Georgia one. Here's hoping for a super fun spring vacation. Oh, these work for summer, too.

Atlantic City, New Jersey

Vegas can be fun, but Atlantic City offers that fun of Vegas on the East Coast. You can enjoy the entertainment and other activities the city has to offer. You can also explore the boardwalks and beaches.

Orlando, Florida

It might seem trite, but going to Orlando, Florida, for spring break is really tops. Orlando has some of the best deals you'll find, since they are obviously such a major tourist destination. And, there's Disney World. Enough said.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

If you want a more traditional spring break, try Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It's one of the hottest spring break destinations in the United States. It's also a pretty reasonable trip, with good, fairly inexpensive lodging options.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

There's nothing wrong with a little education on your spring break, right? Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has a rich history. It's known for that history and rich historical content. Really exploring Philly can be a great way to spend a spring break.

Detroit, Michigan

Detroit is super hot, thanks to their Lions doing so well in the NFL this season. The Motor City has been splashed on the screen during playoff games, and people are starting to see the beauty of this city. The Detroit River is gorgeous in the springtime. There's lots to do in Detroit, too, from the Henry Ford Museum to GreenField Village to live music.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas, Nevada, offers a fun, wild (if you want it to be) spring break destination. The weather is usually good in the springtime, and there's always lots to do. Hit up the casinos or check out one of Vegas' many live shows.

Macon, Georgia

Sure, Atlanta, Georgia is a big tourist spot. But, if you want to try something new, Macon is a growing hotspot. Macon offers a revitalized downtown area, with lots of shopping and activities for families. The city also has a vibrant music scene. What's not to love?

Charlotte, North Carolina

Charlotte, North Carolina, is a unique spot to pick for a spring break. We mean unique in a good way. The Queen City offers lots of breweries, historical areas and scenic views. It can be a low-key but fun spring trip destination.
