HARBOR SPRINGS Celebrate the holiday season in this postcard-perfect town on Little Traverse Bay. The merry glow from the town’s Christmas tree has welcomed rosy-cheeked visitors since 1915. PHOTO BY ANGELA BROWN
DOWNTOWN DESTINATIONS This harborside hamlet is filled with splendid boutiques such as Elizabeth Blair Fine Pearls and Hilda of Harbor. Peruse the 19th-century storefronts, eateries and galleries on Main Street, and don’t miss local favorites like Tom’s Mom’s Cookies and Boyer Glassworks tucked on Spring and State streets.
SANTA’S SECRET Outside, a candy-cane colored awning welcomes you to Pierson's Grille & Spirits. Inside, walls covered in antique signs, skis and snowshoes make it feel like you're lounging at a local ski resort. The restaurant is open 365 days a year, so you can always order the beloved olive burger—even on Christmas. piersonsgrille.com
MERRY MAKING This year brings the 105th anniversary of the Harbor Springs Christmas tree lighting. Gather with family and neighbors to sing carols around the tree on November 28. harborspringschamber.com
O’ CHRISTMAS TREE Nestled on M-119, Pond Hill Farm has pre-cut trees, wreaths and garland. After you pick your tree, hit up the sledding hill or miles of groomed trails for cross-country skiing, fat tire biking and snowshoeing. pondhill.com
