This year, a whimsical surprise awaits: the Gingerbread Man has jumped right out of his storybook and is loose in Granville! Children can pick up a gingerbread house outline at Sutton General Store, visit locations throughout town to collect stickers, then return to share their decorated masterpiece and receive a special prize. The Gingerbread Man’s friends will be on hand to greet young adventurers. Guests may even spot him at the Sweet and Sassy Luncheon and Fashion Show on November 14–15, featuring festive fashions, a delicious lunch, and exclusive shopping discounts, along with plenty of holiday cheer. (reservations required).

At Sutton Homestead, visitors can explore seven enchanting rooms, each inspired by a beloved Christmas story and adorned with a themed tree, from ’Twas the Night Before Christmas to A Christmas Carol. The Festival of Trees inside the Granville Museum adds even more sparkle, transforming the exhibition room into a glittering forest of lights and memories.

Mark your calendar for Country Christmas on December 13, a day packed with festive fun for all ages. Begin with Breakfast with Santa, continue with storytelling, a magic show, and children’s crafts, and conclude with the Christmas Parade and Santa’s grand arrival. Music, laughter, and the scents of the season will fill the air, wrapping every heart in the magic of Christmas.
