If you have the time and the means, you can go ahead and book a trip to Europe for the holidays. But for the rest of us, there’s a shop that offers all the magic of the old country, without any jet lag. The Kristmas Kringle Shoppe is the best holiday store in Wisconsin. It has a European-style Christmas village that sells everything you need to decorate in style. Here’s what’s waiting for you in the shop.
The Fond du Lac business was first founded in 1978 – it moved to its current location in 1994. The owner sought to recreate a Bavarian-style building.
When you step inside, you’ll find yourself in a recreated European-style village that’s complete with pine trees, street lamps, old storefronts, and more.
The store is a wonderland of holiday magic – the village has a gingerbread house, an old fashioned church, and a tower. The shop has many special things for sale, including figurines, collectibles, and plenty of whimsical holiday gifts and home decor items.
You’ll find items in this store that you will not find anywhere else. There are 70 display trees that are decorated with delicate and unique glass ornaments from all over the world.
If you’re looking for a nutcracker, or are a collector, you’ll love the selection. The store has every option imaginable, including various sizes and themes.
While the Kristmas Kringle Shoppe celebrates Christmas all year, there’s one important day when you won’t celebrate Christmas here: it’s closed on Dec. 25. Lean more about the store on Kristmas Kringle Shoppe’s website. Once you’ve taken in the best holiday store in Wisconsin, here’s where to find the best holiday lights.
