The Christmas Haus

The yuletide spirit is in great supply year round at The Christmas Haus, an authentic German Christmas shop. Three separate buildings are filled with countless glass ornaments (with designs ranging from traditional to quirky and modern), nutcrackers, nativities, and more. With holiday music playing over the speakers and aisles of artisanal decor to discover, you’ll find yourself in a festive spirit no matter what time of year you visit.

Brookmere Winery Tasting Room

End your day in New Oxford with a wine tasting at Brookmere Winery, back in the town square. This small, family-owned winery uses only Pennsylvania-grown grapes and fruits to produce their wine. All tastings are free. Once you decide on a variety you love, their team encourages you to purchase a bottle and settle in to listen to some live music (on select Friday evenings) and enjoy something to eat (outside food is permitted, as they do not have an in-house restaurant).
