You are invited to start your holidays early at the 3rd Annual Holly Jolly Holiday Retreat!

This year we will be celebrating the woman who bakes all the cookies, cares for the elves, makes sure Santa is well fed, makes the delicious hot chocolate and creates all of the handmade gifts for everyone…none other than…Mrs. Claus!

When: Wednesday, November 18, 2026 to Sunday, November 22, 2026.

Where: The Whatever Craft House - Newton, KS

There is nothing better than making handmade gifts for the holidays…EXCEPT…sitting around a table making handmade gifts with other artsy ladies that encourage your creativity, make you laugh, listen to your stories, and become life-long friends!

We will start our mornings gathered in the living room, snuggled on the couches with a cup of hot coffee or tea and a devotional and discussion time. There will be plenty of time for creating…but also time built in to rest, relax, shop OR just hang out and get to know one another.

Each day you will enjoy delicious and filling meals prepared for you. In between meals there will be lots of healthy snacks and an afternoon charcuterie board. We will also have coffee, tea, and refreshing fruit-infused water provided for you.

The Whatever Craft House is a 100-year-old restored home that is now used for retreats. There are four bedrooms upstairs with 3-5 twin beds in each room. There are also three shared bathrooms.

Whether you are wanting to get a jumpstart on your holiday crafting, just get away, learn a new craft, or meet some like-minded Christian creatives…the Holly Jolly Retreat is a special holiday experience for everyone!
