Noel is one of a few "Christmas Cities" in America, along with Santa Claus, Indiana; North Pole, Alaska; and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; just to name some. Every year, thousands of Christmas cards are sent to Noel to be stamped with the magical NOEL stamp, which reads: NOEL, MISSOURI: THE CHRISTMAS CITY OF THE OZARK VACATION LAND on them delivered anywhere in the world.
