Inn to Inn Cookie Tour – The Sweetest Holiday Tradition in New England Returns

December 12 and 13, 2026 

From sugar-dusted snow scenes to warm country inns filled with the scent of fresh-baked cookies, the Inn to Inn Cookie Tour has become a beloved holiday tradition in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Now in its 29th year, this self-guided celebration invites guests to step inside beautifully decorated inns, sample handcrafted holiday treats, and gather festive inspiration for baking, decorating, and gift-giving.

The inns span the charming towns of Tamworth, Madison, Eaton, North Conway, and Jackson. New for this year, Rosewood Landing on Silver Lake joins these stunning country inns as part of the tour.

Each inn on the 2026  tour will showcase signature cookie recipes—sweet and savory—plus eye-catching seasonal décor. Tour-goers receive a keepsake holiday recipe collection and enjoy special touches that vary by property, from sleigh rides and carolers to live music and holiday markets.

Participating inns in 2026  include:

• Cranmore Mountain Lodge, North Conway
  
• The Farmstand B&B, Chocorua
  
• Inn at Crystal Lake, Eaton
  
• Inn at Ellis River, Jackson
  
• Inn at Thorn Hill, Jackson
• The Preserve at Chocorua,Tamworth 
• Purity Spring Resort, East Madison
• Snowvillage Inn, Eaton
• TuckAway Suites, North Conway
• Whitney’s Inn, Jackson

Giving Back While Celebrating the Season
More than just a festive tradition, the Inn to Inn Cookie Tour also supports a meaningful cause. Each year, participating inns donate a portion of tour proceeds to End 68 Hours of Hunger, a local nonprofit that fights food insecurity by providing meals to school children who might otherwise go without over the weekend.

“This event is a labor of love for all of us,” said Ostendorf. “We’ve proudly supported End 68 Hours of Hunger for years and have raised thousands of dollars to help children and families in our local communities. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that the joy we spread during the holiday season also helps feed kids who need it most.”
