One of the best parts of a getaway is indulging in the area's best treats. And for many, the best treats are sweets!

Sweet Spots 

From ice cream to cookies, you’ll find plenty of places to satisfy a sweet tooth throughout the area.
Santa's Candy Castle – The ultimate sweet spot! There’s hardly a corner of this historic building that doesn’t feature some kind of confection. Indulge in old-fashioned and current candy favorites, handmade chocolates, 35 flavors of cocoa, and their famous frozen hot chocolate.
Santa Claus Christmas Store – It doesn’t just look like Christmastime at the Santa Claus Christmas Store, it smells like it, too! Stop in for massive cookies fresh from the oven, fudge in a variety of unique flavors, chocolate candies, and sugary Bavarian nuts.
Frosty’s Fun Center – It’s no surprise that a restaurant called “Frosty’s” is a great place to go for frozen treats. Order your ice cream by the scoop or soft served. Or try the popular Dirty Sundae! 
Fat Daddy’s Grill & Chill – Banana splits, milkshakes, sundaes. If it’s made with ice cream, there’s a good chance you’ll find it on the Fat Daddy’s menu. https://www.tiktok.com/@santaclausind/video/7120638398204972334?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&lang=en   Sweet P's Frostbite - Pull up a picnic table and enjoy a soft-serve ice cream cone, shake, sundae, or even an old-fashioned soda.
