I can personally recommend Frankenmuth, MI. The Christmas store there is phenomenal. Bronner's Christmas Wonderland, https://www.bronners.com/

Not listed, Cedar Springs, MI for the Red Flannel Factory, too.

Thanks!! Looks like fun!

I found the Blue Carbuncle story at https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1661/1661-h/1661-h.htm#chap07

It was fun to see all the Christmas towns! One is 1 1/2 hours away from DD. I sent her the pic and asked if she has been there.

I will check out all the rest soon!
