As a Mystic local, I have a membership at Mystic Seaport Museum. I love to go there weekly to stroll around the grounds. The holidays season is one of my favorite time of the year to photograph the Seaport all decorated with wreaths and greenery.

I was thrilled to get some snowfall in December (in last couple years we didn’t get snow until January!). The Seaport was the first spot I went to capture the magic of the snow with the holidays decor! It’s magical how snow and holiday greenery can transform the Seaport!

I also finally attended the annual Lantern Light Village event this month! It is a self-guided immersive experience through the village. There were theatrical performances inspired by Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. My favorite part about it was seeing the Seaport at night time and the horse carriage ride. There were bonfires around the grounds and Santa was there too. This event usually happens on the weekends during December.

The photos were captured at Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut during December 2025. All photos are available for purchase. Please make request here.
