Highland Holidays

Dec. 14, 2024

Fresh off their Bourbon Fanatic Weekend (if you pick up the paper early, you could still make the Dec. 14 boozy fun!), the Highlands at Harbor Springs has a slate of holiday events this weekend. Dec. 21 is the Santa Ski Holiday Scavenger Hunt from 12-2pm, with clues that will lead you toward Santa and the Highlands’ North Pole. Clues in hand, guests are welcomed with a festive, home-style dinner at Slopeside Lounge, featuring pickle-brined fried chicken with all the fixings. This is an early-bird meal from 4:30-6:30pm. Afterward, take the Enchanted Trail—lit up with holiday lights—to Santa’s Holly Jolly Yurt to meet Santa between 6-8pm. Jump into the festive fun a la carte, or bundle the dinner and Enchanted Trail access for $45 for adults and $29 for kids 12 and under. Get all the details and pricing at highlandsharborsprings.com/events.
