Coolest Christmas Things to Do in Michigan – Updated for 2023!

One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is visit some of what I consider the coolest Christmas things to do in Michigan! And while holiday parades and other big one day events can be fun, my family and I prefer visiting the attractions that run all season long! It makes planning easier knowing there are multiple days we can visit an attraction. Plus, these attractions are a lot less busy than one day festivals and parades.

Family Holiday Getaway to Kalamazoo

Two years ago, my family and I traveled to Kalamazoo after we learned there is a reindeer herd there. Yes – reindeer! Then last winter, we returned and spent a day in nearby Hickory Corners taking advantage of all the great holiday features there. Now, after returning to the area for a third holiday season, it’s safe to say our family HIGHLY recommends a family holiday getaway to Kalamazoo! Perhaps, this is our new tradition?

With reindeers, giant candy canes, a free holiday trolly, Santa’s workshop, and walk through light experiences, there are so many unique holiday attractions to take advantage of in Kalamazoo!

Things to Do in Hickory Corners During Christmas

Discover the things to do in Hickory Corners during Christmas. This small town along Gull Lake in southwestern Michigan is a place I wanted to travel to for the past couple years. It is home to the WK Kellogg Manor House, the former summer residence of the cereal magnate WK Kellogg. And a short drive away from the Gilmore Car Museum, home to North America’s largest auto museum. While researching Christmas attractions in Michigan, I discovered both the manor and museum hold Christmas events. What better way to spend a day then by visiting both attractions during a Christmas themed day trip in Michigan.
