When he arrives, he leads the countdown and the town tree lights up, along with all of Main Street.

📅 Friday, Nov. 27, 5–8 pm
📍 Historic Courthouse, Main Street, downtown Hendersonville
🎟️ Free

Pro tip: get downtown early. Main Street closes to cars, so park off Main and stroll in.

Your new favorite holiday tradition is waiting at Jeter Mountain Farm. 🎄

Christmas at the Farm returns for its third year, and it’s worth making a day of it:

☕ There’s keepsake hot chocolate, plus a holiday hard c***r for the grown-ups.
🎶 Live Christmas jazz plays while you rest in a rocking chair by the fire.
🌲 You can pick a fresh-cut North Carolina Fraser fir, 6 to 10 feet tall. The team will net it and tie it to your car, so you don’t have to.

Pro tip: you don’t need a reservation to visit, but you do need one to buy a tree. Reserve yours early to get the best pick.

📅 Nov. 21–22, Nov. 27–29 and Dec. 5–6, 10 am to 5 pm
📍 1126 Jeter Mountain Rd., minutes from downtown Hendersonville

Planning a mountain getaway this winter? Here’s how to make the most of an afternoon in Downtown Hendersonville, NC. 🎁

☕ Take a break. Settle in for a long lunch or a warm drink between stops.
✨ Stay until dark. Main Street sparkles once the holiday lights come on.

There's a pinball museum on Main Street, and every machine in it works.

More than 80 pinball and arcade games at the Appalachian Pinball Museum, and not one of them sits behind glass. You pay once, play all day, and you can leave and come back. Theater of Magic, Twilight Zone, Addams Family, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, plus electro-mechanical machines older than most of the people playing them.

Owner John French has been fixing these since he was thirteen, when an arcade owner watched him work for a week and handed him the keys. He calls it a jobby: not a hobby, not a job. There's a snack bar with sodas and craft b**r, and the whole thing sits in a room that was a hotel ballroom back in 1929.

What was your machine? 🕹️

Mead is one of the oldest drinks in the world, and you can taste seven of them at the top of a mountain in Hendersonville. 🍯

Point Lookout Vineyards sits at 3,000 feet, with 30-mile views from the tasting room, and most people come up for the w**e. World's Edge Meadery is the part that surprises them. Mike Jackson grew up keeping bees, and when he planted the vineyard, he started making mead alongside the w**e, because honey let him play with flavors a grape never could: wildflower and orange blossom, apple, raspberry, tropical fruit, chamomile, even chai tea.

It's still, so there are no bubbles, and it drinks much like w**e. Their Sweetheart, a chocolate cherry mead, took Best in Show at the North Carolina Mead & C***r Competition.

Mike's advice is simple: come up for a tasting and try at least one. Some people work their way through all seven and leave with a favorite they never knew they had.

This A-frame is 20 minutes from Main Street.

Cold Spring Basecamp sits on 38 acres in Zirconia, in a hardwood forest that hasn't been cut in more than 75 years. The A-frame is built creekside out of salvaged barn wood, with a wood stove for cold nights and a deck close enough to hear the water.

Down by the creek there's a bathhouse, a sauna and a cold plunge. Hiking and mountain bike trails start on the property, and there's a waterfall a short walk in.

The land spent 30 years as the backcountry outpost for a summer camp, from 1955 to 1985. The family kept it private for decades, then opened it to guests in 2023.

One of the best c***ries in the country sits in an apple orchard just outside downtown Hendersonville. 🍎

Appalachian Ridge Artisan Hard C***r makes c***r the way you'd make w**e. The apples are French varieties, grown, pressed and bottled right here on the property, and what lands in the glass is dry and complex, closer to a good white than to anything sweet.

You drink it in a restored 1920s apple barn, on a deck that looks out over 29 acres of trees. They pour fresh c***r and apple brandy too, and coffee roasted nearby for whoever isn't drinking. Some weekends there's live music, and the owner leads hikes through the orchard.
