Celebrate the New Year in Northern Michigan
There is no better setting than Northern Michigan to embrace the charm and magic of the New Year. With snow-covered landscapes in every direction as a backdrop, Northern Michigan is the ideal place for families, couples, and groups of friends to hit the slopes, enjoy nice meals, traverse the trails, skate laps around the rink, and ring in the New Year with Treetops Resort’s annual fireworks display.
Family-Friendly Getaways and NYE Celebrations
To name just a few of the festive winter activities that bring families together: skiing and snowboarding, tubing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and ice skating.
One activity families may not have done before but find particularly enjoyable is winter rafting on the Sturgeon River. Families work together to traverse the river and enjoy the scenery all while staying warm and dry in the raft.
For those looking for a relaxing outing on land, check out parks, trails, and scenic vistas for a leisurely way to enjoy winter as a family in Northern Michigan.
Starting December 26, our family-friendly Treetops Resort-wide scavenger hunt gives kids a chance to collect Treetops bracelets and potentially win a two-night ski getaway.
Take a look at all our upcoming events and activities leading up to and into the New Year.
Romantic New Year’s Eve Getaways
Treetops Resort is the perfect place for couples looking to escape Up North for the New Year, with plenty of romantic excursions and activities to make every day special and memorable.
Start the day with our Treetops Trailside Brunch (begins December 27) with a buffet followed by three stops along the trail for delectable treats. Follow it up with a trip to one of Michigan’s premier resort spas for any number of relaxing and rejuvenating services, including couples massages.
Many couples look to get the most out of skiing and snowboarding or on-property extreme snow tubing they can, and a romantic après-ski meal is a great way to wind down from the slopes. Of course, ice skating remains, as it always has, a flawless date activity, particularly on our scenic rink just behind the lodge.
Need a romantic way to spend an afternoon? Beginning December 26, take a sleigh ride on our Natural Springs Trail and join us for dinner on certain days and times.
