Cranmore Mountain Lodge
A rich history, glorious views, and award-winning food and service are just some of the highlights of the Cranmore Mountain Lodge. Nestled against the White Mountains, it’s the kind of place everyone from North Conway residents to the rich and famous have used to rest and recharge for generations. You might have heard of a couple of prominent visitors—Babe Ruth and John F. Kennedy, Jr!
Its historic grounds have turned many occasions into lasting memories, and what better place is there to be during Christmas than in the mountains of New Hampshire? The Cranmore Mountain Lodge features multiple venues, both indoor and outdoor, and their partnerships with local businesses and vendors make it easy to plan your holiday gathering down to the finest detail.
Red Fox Bar & Grille
A brisk 11-minute drive from the Cranmore is the Red Fox Bar & Grille, whose wood-fired pizzas and steaks continue to cause cravings around the nation. The warmth of the fire is only outdone by the friendliness of the staff who are all too happy to bring the vision of your holiday party into a reality. Whether you choose the rustic and classy Chatham Room for a smaller group or the Iron Mountain Room that can host up to 150 people with views of the nearby slopes, it’s sure to make an impression on your guests.
Tuckerman Brewing
Looking to do something more casual this year? Started by a law student and scientist in 1998, they decided to take a chance and make a lifestyle change. Today, Tuckerman Brewing produces over 8,000 barrels of beer a year, enjoyed on site and through New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine. You and your family or team can taste the crisp brews made onsite that pair perfectly with their brick oven pizzas (with the maple sausage being a local favorite!).

Consisting of 300+ acres with trails, overlooks, an outdoor fireplace, a gazebo, gardens, a trout pond, and so much more, it allows visitors to sit at the heart of what makes the region special while celebrating all types of occasions.
