Start the holiday season off with Wassail Days in Frisco. From Saturday, November 26th through Sunday, December 4th, local businesses serve up their secret recipe of wassail. Jumpstart the holidays by trying 12 sips of wassail and don’t forget to pick up and start your 12 Sips of Wassail Card. Once you’ve completed your card, you get to vote for your favorite wassail recipe and receive a free annual wassail mug. My favorite part of this tradition is the commemorative mug my family and I get!
But Frisco Wassail Days are not just about deliciously spiced cider. Frisco encourages you and your family to visit all the fantastic retail shops all along Main Street and participate in the annual tree lighting finishing with fireworks, Santa visits at the Frisco Historic Park, and breakfast with Santa!

As a realtor in Breckenridge, it’s always entertaining to attend the annual Ullr Fest. The annual celebration is all about Ullr, the Norse God of snow. You might be wondering why Breckenridge hosts the Ullr Fest for what is about to be its 59th year. The answer is simple… locals and tourists alike call on Ullr to plead for a super powder-filled ski season!
