The holiday season is one of our favorite times of year in downtown Wooster! The 12 Days of Christmas are more than just a countdown to the holiday; they are a time to come together, celebrate our town's rich heritage, and create cherished memories with loved ones. Here are our 12 suggestions for embracing the holiday spirit in Wooster:

1. Snap family photos: Gather your friends and family and make some memories with Downtown Wooster as your backdrop! Filters will be unnecessary with our picturesque downtown decor, including lights, nutcrackers, and dazzling trees!
2. Celebrate the arts: Visit Wayne Center for the Arts' holiday boutique for unique, handcrafted gifts. Don't forget to stroll downtown to admire the extraordinary holiday window displays from our local businesses.
3. Take a literary adventure: Nothing beats curling up by a warm fire with a good book. Visit Books in Stock or the Wayne County Library to find your next literary adventure!
4. Glow up: Visit one of Wooster's luxurious salons to find your perfect winter glam look! Dream Face + Skin Bar offers facials that will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated. Or check out Salon Fringe or Barberhood for a hairstyle to complement your festive spirit!
5. Get creative: Make your own holiday gifts by visiting A Time to Craft! Or put together a photo collage for the artisans at Walnut Street Gallery to turn into a framed family keepsake.
6. Journey to the past: Explore the exhibits at the Wayne County Historical Society, and trace our local history back to the 18th century!
7. Relax and unwind: Visit the Salt and Serenity Grotto for a massage and a restful salt cave experience, or visit Cutters Hair Studio & Spa to book a whole spa day!
8. Move your body: Escape the cold temperatures by working up a sweat at Flex Yoga! If you miss the summer, hot Pilates will surely warm your soul.
9. Give back: There's no happiness quite like the feeling you get from helping others. Volunteer your time or make a donation to one of Wooster's many charitable organizations, like the Boys & Girls Club of Wooster, Catholic Charities of Wayne County, or the Wayne County Humane Society.
10. Shop 'til you drop: Wooster's local boutiques offer an endless array of one-of-a-kind holiday gifts! From antiques to vinyl records to imported Irish goods, you'll find it all downtown. Be sure to check out our Shoppers' Guide for all the details on where to go!
11. Warm up: A cup of coffee or hot cocoa is just the thing to put you in the holiday spirit! Be sure to explore the seasonal flavors at Sure House and Undergrounds Cafe! (For a more adult way to fight the winter chill, visit Grigio for a smoked old-fashioned.)
12. Share a meal: The holidays are meant to be shared with friends and family. Gather with those you love at one of Wooster's fine dining restaurants. Enjoy delicious food, vibrant conversation, and making memories for years to come.

Above all, our family at Main Street Wooster wishes you a safe and merry holiday season. We can't wait to see you downtown!
