Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland Guide
Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland: Where Christmas Never Ends! Guide
Prepare to be dazzled at Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland, the world's largest Christmas store! Located in Frankenmuth, just a short drive from Birch Run, this festive emporium is a year-round celebration of all things Christmas. Spanning over 27 acres, Bronner's offers an unparalleled selection of ornaments, decorations, trees, lights, and everything else you could possibly need to create a magical holiday atmosphere. Founded in 1945 by Wally Bronner, what started as a small sign-painting business quickly evolved into a Christmas wonderland. Wally's passion for Christmas and his dedication to providing high-quality decorations led to the store's immense popularity. Today, Bronner's attracts millions of visitors each year from around the globe, making it a true Christmas destination. Beyond the shopping, Bronner's offers a variety of attractions, including a Silent Night Memorial Chapel, a replica of the chapel in Austria where the beloved Christmas carol "Silent Night" was first performed. You can also enjoy a scenic drive through the grounds, admiring the thousands of lights that illuminate the property during the Christmas season. Be sure to personalize an ornament to commemorate your visit! While Bronner's doesn't have a specific culinary tradition, the surrounding Frankenmuth area is famous for its Bavarian-style cuisine, including hearty sausages, pretzels, and, of course, those incredible chicken dinners.
