Top 10 Ways to Celebrate the Holidays in Lake Chelan
If you’re not spending the holidays at home, Lake Chelan is the next best place. The valley is merry, bright, and full of holiday cheer! Here are our top 10 ways to get the most out of the holidays in Lake Chelan.
Get Outside
You don’t need to jump in the lake to enjoy the immense beauty of the Lake Chelan Valley. This holiday season, get outside and hit the snowshoe or cross-country trails in Echo Valley! Or bundle up and stroll through town while enjoying the Christmas lights and a hot cup of coffee.
Cozy Up
The weather outside may be frightful, but your Vineyard unit is soo delightful. Curl up and watch a movie or get everyone together for a board game! Enjoy wintery lake views and a bottle of your favorite Lake Chelan red all from the comfort of your couch.
Gather
The holidays are a perfect time to get together, catch up with old friends and family, and spend quality time together. Get your loved ones together under one roof in our Casa Blanca unit for a fun-filled holiday meal and some much-needed time together.
Hit the Town
The holiday festivities abound in the Lake Chelan Valley so we recommend taking advantage of them. Walking distance from your unit is over 14 tasting rooms, cideries, and breweries. Head out on the town and get in the holiday spirit over a glass of wine or a beer!
Enjoy Family-Friendly Events
Looking for ways to keep the whole family entertained? Round everyone up and join in on Small Town Christmas activities like decorating gingerbread houses in downtown Chelan or visit with Santa at participating businesses around the valley.
Events
Attend one of the many holiday-themed events in the valley to make the most of your Christmas in Lake Chelan! Head into downtown Chelan for their Small Town Christmas festivities or simply walk to downtown Manson! Many places, like Radiance Winery’s downtown tasting room, host wreath or ornament making events, ugly sweater parties, and sing-alongs and concerts.
Bring your Traditions to Lake Chelan
Spending your holidays in Lake Chelan doesn’t mean you have to leave behind your beloved holiday traditions! With your fully-equipped kitchen at Marina’s Edge, you’ll be able to make your favorite holiday meal with ease. Then, cozy up with movies, board games, or however you love to spend your holidays!
Live Music
Wineries and venues throughout the Lake Chelan Valley offer live music year-round. The holiday season is the perfect time to get out, grab a drink, and enjoy some good live music. On top of regularly scheduled live music, there are plenty of Christmas concerts to catch. Enjoy a Christmas cantata or join in on a sing-along! Find live music near you here!
Spread the Holiday Cheer
Get into the holiday spirit and spread cheer and goodwill by participating in events like Manger Mall in Manson, or the Festival of Trees auction at the Chelan Chamber of Commerce. These events directly benefit the community and there’s no better way to get into the holiday spirit than giving!
Count Down to the New Year
All throughout the valley, you’ll find fun and exciting ways to ring in the new year! Places like Wapato Point Cellars in Manson and Siren Song in Chelan host extravagant New Year’s Eve events. Don your layers and take the family to see the Fireworks show on the lake. Or if you want to stay back at your unit and pop a bottle of bubbly in bed, we don’t blame you!
