FRISCO \u2014 Frisco\u2019s Wassail Days, a local tradition founded in 2008, offers residents and visitors samples of wassail, a hot spiced cider. This year, more than 60 Frisco businesses are serving their versions of the drink from Saturday to Dec. 8.<\/p>\n

Attendees can vote for their favorite wassail and fill their \u201c12 Sips of Wassail\u201d cards, which can be redeemed at the Frisco Information Center for a 2019 Wassail days mug while supplies last. This year\u2019s mug features an original design from local artist Ashlie Weisel of Frisco\u2019s Sunny Side Up Art Studio.<\/p>\n
