'Tis the Season at the Omni Mount Washington
A White Mountain Christmas
Few places in New England do the holidays quite like the Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa. Set against the snow-covered Presidential Range, the resort comes alive from Thanksgiving through New Year’s with the kind of Christmas magic that stays with a family long after the season ends. A life-sized gingerbread house anchors the Great Hall. Santa makes his appearances. Kids hunt for elves, decorate cookies, and chase clues through scavenger hunts while adults unwind at Blitzen’s Bar and The Cave. The week between Christmas and New Year’s fills with nightly buffets, a pop-up art gallery, ballet, and a New Year’s Eve celebration the whole family can share.
