Celebrate the Holidays in Shipshewana: A Christmas Tour Through Amish Country

December 1, 2025 December 4, 2025

This December, step into a storybook holiday with Wesbury’s four-day Christmas tour to Shipshewana, Indiana—a serene and spirit-filled destination in the heart of Amish Country. Far from the hustle of the season, Shipshewana offers a refreshing return to tradition, community, and the simple joys that make Christmas truly magical.

The journey includes enriching stops like the historic Libbey House Mansion in Toledo, a beautifully preserved 19th-century home of glassmaking pioneer Edward Drummond Libbey, and a dazzling finale at the Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, where over a million twinkling lights wrap the grounds in enchantment.

Guests stay at the welcoming Blue Gate Garden Inn, a premier hotel offering warm hospitality and hearty breakfasts. Each evening is filled with festive experiences—from a magical light tour through the Market Grounds to uplifting live performances at the beloved Blue Gate Theatre, including the whimsical Christmas Candy Caper and the music-filled Christmas Jubilee Review.

A highlight of the trip is a full day guided tour through the Amish countryside led by local favorite, Orley Miller. With heartfelt stories and candid insights, Orley opens a window into a world rooted in faith, family, and simplicity. You’ll visit Amish-owned businesses, enjoy traditional meals in Amish homes, and hear schoolchildren sing beloved carols in a one-room schoolhouse and receive four hand-selected goodies to take home.

Cultural immersion continues at the Amish Mennonite Interpretive Cultural Center, where multimedia exhibits and recreated spaces tell the powerful story of the Amish journey from 16th-century Europe to rural Indiana. The center is not just a museum—it’s a tribute to a people who have chosen a path of peace, purpose, and preservation.

From exploring charming downtown shops to savoring homemade delights, this tour through Shipshewana offers a meaningful way to begin your holidays with an unforgettable blend of history and tradition.
