Vail is transforming the International Bridge this holiday season with the Kringle Crossing Holiday Village.
Featuring eight custom chalets “direct from the North Pole,” the town says the village twinkles with lights and whimsical decorations.
Visitors to the village are invited to immerse themselves in the glowing spirit of the miniature holiday town. Kringle Crossing will play host to festive activities throughout the holiday season, including visits from Santa Claus, carolers and seasonal treats.
Visitors to Kringle Crossing are encouraged to explore and enjoy the village anytime through Jan. 7, 2024.

“We are thrilled to introduce Kringle Crossing to Vail,” said Jeremy Gross, special event coordinator for the Town of Vail. “We designed this installation at the International Bridge to create a sense of wonder and welcome gentle exploration. We hope it will become a mainstay of Vail’s holiday traditions for years to come.”
Kringle Crossing Holiday Village comes to life over Thanksgiving weekend, with four days of live music at the International Bridge.
On Dec. 3, the first Smile with Santa activity will provide guests with an opportunity to visit with the jolly guest of honor and get a special photo to print or share electronically, courtesy of DiscoverVail.com.
During Smile with Santa, visitors are invited to write a note on a commemorative Kringle Crossing postcard and drop it at the North Pole Post Office, where it will be mailed free of charge.
