If you rise early on Christmas Day to put the turkey in the oven, you can bide your time by watching the “Official Best of Mississippi 2014,” which features Columbus as “Best Friendly City.”
The program will be broadcast at 5 a.m. Thursday on The Discovery Channel.
Other Mississippi cities featured on the program will be Aberdeen, Vicksburg, Tupelo, Natchez, Ridgeland and Jackson.
After the TV airings each attraction will be featured on the national travel site, OfficialBest.com/Mississippi for three years.
