Christmas Is a Little Different on the Eastern Shore
And that's exactly what makes it special.
Here, Christmas isn't about crowded shopping malls or rushing from one obligation to the next. It's about twinkling lights, small-town traditions, handmade treasures, delicious food and the simple pleasure of slowing down.
This November, two charming coastal communities are celebrating the season. Spend a day discovering the old-fashioned Christmas magic of Sherbrooke Village, wander the festive streets of Sheet Harbour, and let Marmalade be your cozy oceanfront home away from home.
Two communities. Two Christmas celebrations. One unforgettable coastal getaway.
Stay a Little Longer. Make a Weekend of It.
