CHARLEVOIX
The trees along Bridge Street glitter with lights, welcoming you to stroll to festively decorated galleries, boutiques and restaurants in this fabulously charming town on Lake Charlevoix.

DOWNTOWN DESTINATIONS While you shop on Bridge Street, look for the sign for Van Pelt Alley between Clinton Street and Park Avenue, and discover the tucked away, trendy side of the city (charlevoixmercado.com). End your day with a drive past the Boss Family Christmas Display on Pearl Avenue, near Mt. McSauba. The family has been transforming their home into a light-covered spectacular since 1978. SANTA’S SECRET Castle Farms, a few miles outside of downtown Charlevoix on M-66, transforms into a winter wonderland each Christmas. Ole St. Nick stops by for story time, the Polar Express chugs through the annual holiday train display and children mail letters to the North Pole. castlefarms.com MERRY MAKING For a special gift and a fun activity, check out Cottage Pottery’s to-go kits, which include your choice of pottery (ornaments, vintage Christmas trees and mugs are some of the ever-changing options!) paint, brushes and step-by-step instructions. Once you’ve painted your piece, drop it back off at the studio and the team will professionally glaze and fire it. parkavenuepottery.com O’ CHRISTMAS TREE Visit Van Houten Farm in Ellsworth, near the intersection of Essex Road and US-31, for freshly cut trees. While you’re in the area, make the seven-minute drive over to King Orchards’ M-88 Market to pick up a homemade pie (frozen and ready-to-bake). Pop it in the oven before you start decorating your tree for a special treat when you’re done. facebook.com/vanhoutenfarm, kingorchards.com
