The Graeagle Christmas Festival took place on Saturday, December 6, 2025, and it was a beautiful, warm, and perfect day for early December. Every boutique and shop handed out unique Christmas cookies, snacks, and delightful holiday cocktails. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus meandered through the stores, spreading holiday cheer everywhere they went. Bailey Dikes and his beautiful black draft horses offered wagon rides throughout Graeagle. The Graeagle Restaurant, featuring a Rudolph the Red-Nosed animatronic reindeer on its porch, greeted visitors while serving delicious beef and venison chili with all the fixings. The Danny Horton Trio played lively music throughout the afternoon. It was a beautiful day in paradise, with the tree lighting at dusk completing the festive experience. - Story and photos by Adrian Hardy
