The Town of Frisco is proud to announce the wassail business competition winners for the 2024 Frisco Wassail Days. The event ran from November 30 through December 8 and gave residents and visitors the opportunity to sample secret wassail recipes from over 50 participating Frisco businesses and to vote for their favorite wassail. This year Hotel Frisco was voted the crowd favorite wassail with Frisco Lodge coming in second, and Rivers Clothing Company securing third place. The top three winners received a custom trophy created by Frisco’s own GatherHouse Glassblowing Studio.
This year’s top 5 winners:
- Hotel Frisco
- Frisco Lodge
- Rivers Clothing Company
- Rocket Fizz
- Frisco Liquors
Frisco Wassail Days spotlights local businesses and celebrates all things winter and holiday season. The event included a tree lighting ceremony with fireworks, Santa visits, reindeer, and carolers. Since Frisco started this festival in 2008, Frisco businesses have perfected their wassail recipes, which locals and visitors sample to fill out their “12 Sips of Wassail” card. Completed “12 Sips of Wassail” cards are then redeemed at the Frisco/Copper Visitor Information Center for a free commemorative Wassail Days mug which features an iconic Frisco scene each year. This year 2,366 “12 sips” cards were redeemed for free commemorative Wassail mugs after wassailers made over 28,392 visits to local businesses.
This year’s mug features an original design from Summit County-based artist Player Haynes, a graphic artist and owner of Player Haynes Design. His work spans many platforms, including logos, websites, and beer can and poster illustrations.
“Each year, Wassail Days is intended to remind us of the value our local businesses bring to the community, especially during the holiday season when meaningful gifts and delicious treats are in abundance throughout Frisco’s unique local shops and restaurants. We appreciate all the participating businesses, residents, and visitors for taking part in this event and offer a huge congratulations to our Wassail winners,” stated Grant McKay, Town of Frisco Recreation Programs and Events Manager.
