What is Wassail Days?
Wassail Days is Frisco’s super fun celebration of all things winter and the holidays, celebrated by local businesses offering unique wassail recipes to sample. Wassail Days is also a competition among businesses serving Wassail. Check out the 2021 Wassail Days winners.
What is Wassail?
Wassail is a hot, spiced cider served over the holidays and shared among friends and neighbors.
What do you do during Frisco Wassail Days?
Drink wassail of course! From Saturday, November 26 – Sunday, December 4, 2022, local businesses serve up their own secret version of wassail. Guests are encouraged to taste at least 12 different types of wassail at 12 different locations and fill their “12 Sips of Wassail Card.” Once the “12 Sips” card is filled out, guests can redeem it at the Frisco/Copper Information Center for a commemorative Frisco Wassail Days mug, while supplies last.
Frisco/Copper Information Center

9:00am-5:00pm
The Information Center will have limited hours on some holidays and will be closed on January 1, Thanksgiving Day, and December 24 & 25.
2022 Wassail Days Commemorative Mug
Each year the commemorative mug features an iconic Frisco scene, and this year’s mug features an original design from Summit County-based artist Michele Perl, owner of Ends Meet Art. Most notable for her bold contrasting colors and mountain-inspired acrylic landscapes, Michelle pulls inspiration from the surrounding nature of Summit County.
