New England Christmas Festival 2025

The beloved New England Christmas Festival is back at Mohegan Sun, bringing a dazzling marketplace of handcrafted treasures and specialty foods for its 39th year. This once-a-year event is the ultimate holiday shopping destination, featuring over 400 pop-up boutiques and hundreds of talented artisans and makers under one roof. Shoppers can discover truly unique gifts and festive finds that make holiday giving extra memorable.

For one unforgettable weekend, artisans and specialty food makers from across the country come together to offer thousands of handmade creations, from distinctive jewelry, fashion, and home décor to gourmet treats and seasonal specialties. Every item is crafted with care, making this festival a rare opportunity to find meaningful gifts you won’t see in big-box stores or online mega-sites. With so many talented makers under one roof, the New England Christmas Festival is more than shopping – it’s a celebration of American craftsmanship and holiday spirit.

Since 1982, this multi-award-winning festival has been New England’s premier holiday shopping event, offering handcrafted items in every price range. Aisles are brimming with seasonal décor, unique home accessories, fine jewelry, specialty foods, adorable kids’ clothing and toys, spa products, and so much more. Whether you’re shopping for loved ones or even your four-legged friends, the festival provides a fun and memorable experience for the entire family.

Join us for three days of festive cheer at Mohegan Sun and make this holiday season one to remember!

Step inside and discover a world where folk art Santas smile from rustic shelves, blown-glass penguins sparkle in the light, alpaca scarves beg to be wrapped around your shoulders, and sheepskin slippers keep toes cozy through the snowy nights. Shoppers will also find jewelry that glimmers like holiday lights, whimsical pet coats, organic spa products, and one-of-a-kind home décor perfect for gifting—or keeping!

And what’s the season without a little indulgence? The Specialty Food aisles are a feast of flavors, with maple syrups (smoked, infused, and barrel-aged), handmade truffles, buttery shortbread, spicy hot sauces, savory jerky, decadent caramel sauces, and holiday favorites like gingerbread muffins and whoopie pies. Every turn offers a new delight to sample, savor, and share.

“The New England Christmas Festival is truly where holiday magic begins,” said Jackie Ralston, the creator of the event. “It’s not just shopping—it’s stepping into a winter wonderland filled with imagination, craftsmanship, and the joy of the season.”
