The Merry Makers Studio is an interactive holiday concept shop that will pair the opportunity to shop local brands with activities and vignettes made for Instagrammable moments with family and friends. Any given day, guests may have the opportunity to meet and take pictures with Santa, make their own ornaments and gift wrap, or create a card for someone in need, to name a few.

With this shop, the creators of the Merry Makers Studio hope to bring back some of the whimsy and delight families would feel when they’d visit the Dayton’s Downtown Minneapolis holiday display.
