Nantucket Insider loves summer days and beach weather on Nantucket, but we also love the island for all the ways to enjoy the holidays too! Here's Nantucket Insider's top picks to start off the holiday season on Nantucket... Cold Turkey Plunge A unique Nantucket tradition to start off Thanksgiving festivities, The Cold Turkey Plunge takes place on November 27th at 10am. Brave the chilly- (but refreshing!) waters at Children's Beach with scores of Nantucketers and visitors alike. The Cold Turkey Plunge is fun event with fundraising for Nantucket Atheneum's Weezie Library for Children. To learn more and to participate in this year's plunge click here.

Shopping at Christmas Stroll Nantucket's Christmas Stroll is an island holiday tradition 41 years strong! Santa arrives on the island via Coast Guard ship to greet crowds of residents and visitors here to enjoy this special time of year. Take a break from online shopping and the mainland's malls and shop your way through the streets of Nantucket town to find truly unique Nantucket gifts for everyone on your holiday list. Island favorites like Best of the Beach have something for everyone!
