Frisco’s Annual Wassail Days Returns: A Perfect Festive Escape from November 30 - December 8, 2024

Every year as the snow blankets the mountains and holiday lights begin to sparkle, Frisco, Colorado transforms into a winter wonderland for its annual Wassail Days celebration. Running from November 30 to December 8 this year, Wassail Days invites locals and visitors alike to experience an old-fashioned mountain holiday, complete with Wassail—a warm, spiced cider beverage that has become the event’s star attraction.

What’s Wassail All About?

Wassail, a centuries-old winter drink, traditionally made with ingredients like cinnamon, cloves, and apples, represents warmth, good health, and community—a fitting theme for Frisco's cozy celebration. During Wassail Days, nearly all the businesses along Main Street serve up their unique take on Wassail, making this a fun (and tasty) way to explore local shops, galleries, and restaurants.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Unique Holiday Tradition

1. Savor the Variety of Wassail Flavors
   Imagine sampling different Wassail recipes as you stroll down Frisco’s festive Main Street. Each business adds its twist, whether it’s a dash of orange zest, a hint of ginger, or a sprinkle of nutmeg. As you sample, be sure to collect your "12 Sips of Wassail" card, which lets you track tastings and qualifies you for a collectible Wassail Days mug once you reach 12 tastings—a holiday keepsake that adds to the fun!

2. Charming Holiday Shopping
   Wassail Days is a shopper's paradise. With Frisco’s local boutiques, cozy bookstores, art galleries, and artisanal shops, there’s a gift for everyone. From handcrafted jewelry to mountain-inspired home décor, holiday shopping here is not only enjoyable but also supports local businesses, keeping Frisco’s mountain spirit alive.

3. The Main Street Parade and Tree Lighting Ceremony
   One of the highlights of Wassail Days is the holiday parade and the tree lighting ceremony. Watch as holiday-themed floats, classic cars, and Santa himself roll down Main Street, all while sipping your Wassail. As evening falls, join the community in counting down to the lighting of Frisco’s town tree—a festive tradition that fills the air with joy and anticipation.

4. Cozy Fires and Ice-Skating Adventures
   For those looking to warm up, gather around one of Frisco’s fire pits set up throughout town or head over to the Frisco Adventure Park for a spin on the ice. Wassail Days also hosts family-friendly events, like crafts and gingerbread house workshops, making it a great way to entertain the kids.
