The Makers & Merchants

Our Artisan Vendors

Every booth at the Christmas Village is a carefully chosen chapter in the story of the season — handcrafted, thoughtfully made, and worthy of the village that hosts them.

A Curated Market

Craftsmanship at the Heart of the Village

Not a craft fair — a curated collection of makers worthy of the village itself.

The Mount Gretna Christmas Village is home to a select gathering of artisans, makers, and purveyors whose work reflects the spirit of a true Victorian Christmas market. From hand-thrown ceramics and heirloom ornaments to fine foods and bespoke gifts, every vendor is chosen for the quality and character of their craft.

What You'll Find

The Wares of the Village

Fine Gifts & Keepsakes

Heirloom ornaments, hand-lettered goods, bespoke jewelry, and objects made to be treasured long after the season ends.

Artisan Food & Drink

Small-batch preserves, handcrafted confections, specialty teas, and the finest holiday provisions from regional makers.

III

Home & Hearth

Hand-thrown ceramics, hand-poured candles, woven textiles, and objects that bring warmth and beauty to the winter home.

Seasonal Wearables

Handknit woolens, fine scarves, artisan leather goods, and wearables crafted for the cold and the occasion.
