Holiday Season in Saranac Lake

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”, and what makes it even better? Spending the holiday in Saranac Lake. Skip the hustle and bustle of the big cities and metropolitan malls. Opt for quaint, scenic, and classic by visiting the Saranac Lake area for the holiday season, and you’ll be fa la la-ing all the way.

If you picture frosty panes of glass in storefront windows, foggy breath during casual walks along the river while drinking a hot cup of coffee or cocoa, or cuddling up near a warm fireplace with your favorite someone, you can have that while staying in Saranac Lake. Want skiing, snowboarding and outdoor play? That’s available to you as well. Basically, what we are saying is you can have it all during the holiday season, and leave with a smile on your face and awesome memories to share with those back home. 

The winter months are wonderful on their own when visiting the area, but imagine them during the holidays. Establishments, like Saranac Waterfront Lodge, celebrate Thanksgiving by offering a special dinner with all the “fixin’s” that those, staying in the area, can make reservations for and enjoy a harvest feast. Pair the meal with a parade and you’ve got a holiday fit for a king.

How about a leisurely village stroll to celebrate the days before Christmas, or even after? Wrap your holidays in craft fairs, trivia and tastings, as well as a visit to Riverside Park for an illuminated display of Christmas cheer. Take in the spectacular ice castle, or join in a round of caroling and snacks while staying in Saranac Lake during the month of December.

Don’t let your holiday fun end there, New Years is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate it then a vacation skiing in the mountains? Enjoy the slopes at Whiteface to ring in the New Year. Lift a glass and cheer in the new year with visits to local breweries and lounges, like the Boathouse Saranac Lake Pub.

Romantic weekends around the holiday’s? Yes, you can have that too, while staying in Saranac Lake. It is a perfect place to visit, to fall in love during the months of celebration. Visit the Winter Carnival. Celebrate your relationship with that perfect someone while enjoying the escapades of the Royal Court, cozying up and watching the fireworks, and taking exquisite photos to remember your vacation together inside the walls of the ice palace, created with ice straight from Lake Flower. Wow!

No matter what time of year you plan your vacation in, a winter holiday in Saranac Lake makes for the perfect place to celebrate and enjoy festivities, or casual moments that will promise to have you returning to explore, and enjoy the area more. We will see you there!
