🎄 Holidays on Martha's Vineyard: 2025 Bucket List

December 2025 Guide + Preview: From Thanksgiving through NYE

Welcome to your Holiday Guide to Martha’s Vineyard! I’ve written a one-stop-shop to the island traditions, winter favorites, and community celebrations. It spans leftover turkey through the final toast of the year. We’re entering “Quaint-Coastal-New-England Hallmark Movie” in the best way, I can’t wait!

In today’s guide: All the light shows, all the markets, and 75+ holiday events in one organized place. Plus where to stay, special ferries, and which spots to reserve for holiday dining. Includes strolls, parades, concerts, CIE weekend, new-for-2025 picks, brunches, and festive pop-ups. Skimmable, practical, and updated weekly throughout the season. ❤️

Today’s guide is for paid subscribers, but if you’re ready to upgrade I’m running a holiday special:
