The 37th Annual New England Christmas Festival is coming to Mohegan Sun's Earth Expo and Convention Center for three days - Friday November 3 - Sunday November 5, 2023. According to mohegansun.com, it's going to be the largest arts & crafts festival in all of New England. Prior to 2020, the annual New England Christmas Festival was held in Boston, but for the third year in a row, Mohegan Sun has it.

The event is being promoted as featuring over 350 arts, crafts, and food vendors, with an array of handmade products like jewelry, decorations, home accessories, toys and clothes for the kids and your pets, and every Santa Claus product ever made. The event runs 9AM to 6PM on Friday and Saturday, and 9AM - 5PM on Sunday. If you can handle 3 whole days of Peppermint bark, Frosty the Snowman Koozies, and Heat Miser costumes for your Chihuahua, three-day tickets are only $22. Single day tickets will go for $17, and kids ages 14 & under will get in for free. Tickets are on sale already, click HERE.

After sweating through the sweltering Labor Day Weekend 2023, I'm ready for gingerbread, snow, and Santa. Pumpkin? What's wrong with you?
