“Ghosts of Christmas Past”: a Haunted Holiday Stroll Uncover Salem’s fascinating and ghostly holiday history, from strict Puritan bans on Christmas making it illegal even to celebrate, to Victorian Holiday ghost stories originally told around the fireside. With warm Yuletide cheer, we examine ancient customs of Yule and other Pagan winter solstice traditions of Krampus, Frau Perchten “the Christmas Witch”, and Mary Lwyd! Spend your holiday season with us for a storytelling experience you’ll never forget.

Your holiday tour begins in the Financial District at Kane’s Donuts where we’ll sample several of their daily flavors. After which, we’ll take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront on the way over to Boston’s Public Market. While there, we’ll try some delicious donuts and apple cider. You’ll also learn some history around the market and have a moment to check out other vendors. On to the third stop, we’ll walk through Boston’s North End neighborhood. It’s also the home to the Old North Church, which was the starting point for Paul Revere’s famous ride during the Revolutionary War. In the North End, we’ll stop at one of the oldest bakeries in the neighborhood. We’ll have a uniquely Boston treat while we’re here. Lastly, we’ll walk back through the North End to end the tour back at the Public Market where we’ll finish with Union Square Donuts. We’re so excited to share this experience and the amazing donuts of Boston. We hope you can join us very soon!
