Oak Mountain's 2025 Holiday Fair Brings Festive Cheer to Speculator This December

Find unique, handcrafted gifts at Oak Mountain’s annual Christmas Fair.

The holiday season officially arrives in Speculator on December 6, 2025, when Oak Mountain hosts its annual Holiday Fair from 12:00 to 4:30 pm. This beloved community tradition transforms the cozy lodge at 141 Novosel Way into a winter wonderland filled with local artisans, festive activities, and plenty of opportunities to give back to the community—all with free admission.

Supporting local artisans and makers.

Find unique holiday gifts made by talented local artisans.

The heart of the Holiday Fair beats in its craft market, where more than a dozen local vendors showcase their unique creations. Shoppers can browse handcrafted items from Lost in the Woods Candle Co., American Horse Woodworking, Hudson Hats, and Wandering Bee, among others.

Paca Gardens brings alpaca fiber goods, while artisans like Pine Coned, Ruby's Resin, and Hollis's Handcrafted Nautical Name Craft offer one-of-a-kind gift options you won't find anywhere else.

Whether you're searching for the perfect present or treating yourself to something special, these local makers offer quality craftsmanship and personal touches that support the Adirondack community.

Food lovers will appreciate offerings from Saratoga Spicery and Campstore, while samplings from Common Roots and Downeast Cider add a festive taste to the afternoon.

Family activities and entertainment.

The Holiday Fair creates magical memories for visitors of all ages. Live music from David Wong sets the festive mood from 1:30 to 4:30 pm, providing the perfect soundtrack as families explore the fair.

Children can visit Santa's Workshop for cookie decorating, get their faces painted with holiday designs, and enjoy carnival games that capture the playful spirit of the season. And of course, Santa Claus himself will be making an appearance to hear wish lists and pose for photos.

Giving back to the community.

The Holiday Fair embodies the true spirit of the season through its charitable initiatives. Attendees are encouraged to bring canned goods and non-perishable foods for the food drive, helping ensure local families have what they need during the holidays.

The event also serves as a drop-off point for Toys for Tots in partnership with the local Sheriff's Department (please keep toys unwrapped).

Additionally, the Festival of Trees fundraiser supports Cure SMA, allowing visitors to enjoy beautifully decorated trees while contributing to an important cause.

Planning your visit.

With free entry and a convenient location at Oak Mountain Ski Center, the Holiday Fair offers easy access to holiday shopping and entertainment. The 12:00 to 4:30 pm timeframe provides ample opportunity to browse vendors, participate in activities, and soak up the festive atmosphere without feeling rushed.

Whether you're a resident or visiting the Adirondacks for the weekend, Oak Mountain's Holiday Fair delivers an authentic community celebration alongside excellent shopping opportunities.
