What is Wassail?
Wassail is a hot, spiced cider served over the holidays and shared among friends and neighbors.

Drink wassail of course! From Saturday, November 30 – Sunday, December 8, 2024, 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.

2024 Wassail Days Commemorative Mug
Each year the commemorative mug features an iconic Frisco scene. 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, beer can and poster illustrations. We believe his design this year truly reflects the imagery of winter in Frisco and the celebration of Wassail Days.
