PETOSKEY

Twinkling lights shine above the historic Gaslight District, and local merchants offer fabulous items for everyone on your nice list. After a day downtown, kids and adults yell “wheeeee!” as they take on the sledding hill at Petoskey’s Winter Sports Park.

SANTA’S SECRET Johan’s Pastry Shop bakes a spectacular sour cream doughnut, and the other flavors are tasty, too! Order a dozen so you can share with Santa (or not). facebook.com/ johanspastryshop MERRY MAKING Santa himself flies in to light the Christmas tree in Pennsylvania Park during Petoskey’s Holiday Open House, always held on the first Friday of December.
