During the holiday season, the museum transforms into a winter wonderland, with historic ships decked out in Christmas lights and special exhibits celebrating the season including the Lantern Light Tours. Two other, must-see attractions are the Mystic Aquarium&#8217;s &#8220;Home for the Holidays&#8221; Lights Extravaganza and the Olde Mistick Village Holiday Lights Spectacular!<\/p>\n<p>The Engine Room, where you can savor classic New England cuisine while overlooking the river, is great for an afternoon bite! For a sweet treat, stop by Kenzie\u2019s Fudge &amp; Chocolate Shop to indulge in delicious handmade fudge and holiday chocolates. Don\u2019t forget to grab a box for the road or as a special gift for a loved one! For a festive holiday meal to end the night, head to Oyster Club or S&amp;P Oyster Co., where you can enjoy fresh seafood in a cozy, seasonal setting. End your day with a cup of hot chocolate at one of the local caf\u00e9s or unwind with a cocktail to end the night at The Port of Call, Friar Tuck\u2019s Tavern, or Mix Restaurant Rooftop and Bar!<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re enjoying the lights at Olde Mistick Village, shopping for unique gifts, or relaxing at a charming inn, Mystic offers the perfect blend of holiday magic for a weekend getaway. From local boutiques to waterfront dining, there\u2019s no shortage of ways to celebrate the season in this historic coastal town.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:55px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-center in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1339\" height=\"1360\" title=\"Screenshot 2024-11-15 at 11.49.54 AM\" src=\"https:\/\/mystic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-11.49.54-AM.png\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-3984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mystic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-11.49.54-AM-200x203.png 200w, https:\/\/mystic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-11.49.54-AM-400x406.png 400w, https:\/\/mystic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-11.49.54-AM-600x609.png 600w, https:\/\/mystic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-11.49.54-AM-800x813.png 800w, https:\/\/mystic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-11.49.54-AM-1200x1219.png 1200w, https:\/\/mystic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-11.49.54-AM.png 1339w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 4% + 4% ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,16,19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A Perfect Christmas Weekend Getaway in Mystic - Think Mystic<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Trends come and go but nothing beats the chic New England style especially as we transition into colder weather.\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mystic.org\/2024\/11\/a-perfect-christmas-weekend-getaway-in-mystic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A Perfect Christmas Weekend Getaway in Mystic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Start your weekend by arriving in Mystic and checking into a cozy inn or bed-and-breakfast.
