Henryetta gears up for the most magical Mistletoe Market yet

Henryetta is about to sleigh the holiday season.

The Henryetta Chamber of Commerce is putting the finishing touches on what promises to be the biggest, brightest, most joy-packed Mistletoe Market yet. From Dec. 5-21, downtown’s 5th & Trudgeon will once again transform into a glowing Christmas village filled with vendors, photo ops, food trucks, activities, lights – and even a few celebrity appearances.

And this year, the Chamber has a little extra Christmas spirit up its sleeve.

“We’re adding new photo props, new vendor buildings, new activities and so much more,” organizers shared. “Henryetta has embraced the Mistletoe Market in a huge way, and we want everyone to feel like they’re part of something magical.”

To kick things off, residents can even win a Christmas surprise simply by sharing the Chamber’s Mistletoe Market post on Facebook.

— Sponsors Wanted – Help Make the Magic Happen The Chamber is actively seeking sponsors to help bring the market to life. Several tiers are available, making it possible for businesses large and small to help create a truly unforgettable holiday experience.

Interested sponsors can call or text the Chamber, or send an email to get involved.

— Ms. United States Tourism returns home

Henryetta’s own Lisa Watson, a proud HHS graduate and national titleholder, will make a special appearance on Saturday, Dec. 6.

Watson currently serves as Ms. United States Tourism, soon transitioning into her 2026 title: Ms. Route 66 Tourism, where she will represent the heart, heritage and centennial legacy of America’s most iconic highway.

She also serves as a recruiter for the Oklahoma Battlin’ Betties, supports veteran-oriented organizations statewide and models for HopeFor22ADay. org to support suicide-prevention efforts for veterans.

Her appearance is expected to draw a large crowd, offering photo opportunities and a chance to meet one of Henryetta’s brightest hometown stars.

— Sweet NomNom’s Gingerbread Decorating Party One of the market’s most anticipated events returns Saturday, Dec. 6 at 2 p.m., and it’s sweeter than ever.

Tickets are only $3, with Madelyn of Roe Photography serving as the official photographer.

Families can expect frosting, sprinkles, laughter and a brand-new surprise guest: The Gingerbread Man himself.

In a moment that’s melting hearts across town, the organizer’s young son has been “officially nominated” as Henryetta’s honorary Gingerbread Mascot. Expect dramatic gumdrop- searching, high-fives, photos and holiday cheer for all ages.

“Our photographer, Madelyn, is the perfect fit,” organizers shared. “She captures real-life emotion with warm, cozy energy. We can’t wait for her to capture all the pink Christmas magic.”

— Vendor Spotlight: New Buildings, Fresh Faces & Fan Favorites The Mistletoe Market continues to expand its footprint with several new building vendors joining this year and returning favorites bringing even more holiday charm:

Frankum Scents and More

A brand-new addition to the vendor lineup, this building is expected to be a fan favorite. Customers can find candles, fun gift items and unique surprises.

“With Frankum Scents and More, you never know what treasures you’re going to find,” the Chamber said.

— Blessed Acres

Step inside this wonderfully cozy vendor building and take in the comforting scent of fresh-baked goods, homemade canned goods and handpoured candles.

It’s a warm refuge during chilly market nights, and one visitor described it best: “Blessed Acres is an absolute must-stop.”

— Flud Farms Creations

A beloved returning vendor, Flud Farms Creations offers beautiful custom wreaths, country-style home décor and seasonal displays, perfect for holiday decorating.

Their décor brings “true cozy Christmas charm,” and they will be open all three weekends.

— 4-H at the Market

Schulter/Wilson 4-H will have a booth at Mistletoe Market on Dec. 5 from 5-9 p.m. and Dec. 6 from 1-9 p.m., offering handcrafted ornaments, small crafts, a bake sale and possibly homemade hot chocolate.

Funds raised will support future entry fees and camp costs. “Come support the local 4-H kids!”

— Rotary Club’s Mobile Hot Cocoa Bar During the Henryetta Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 13, at 6:30 p.m., the Henryetta Rotary Club will debut a mobile hot cocoa bar to warm up parade-goers. Expect holiday spirit by the cupful.

— Photographers: Rent the Market for Holiday Shoots Local photographers looking for a festive backdrop can now rent the market space for just $50 per day or night.

To book, simply call the Henryetta Chamber at 918-652-3331.

It’s an affordable, high-impact location perfect for family sessions, kids’ minis, couple photos or holiday card shoots.

— Where’s Santa? Henryetta Wants to Know Residents are encouraged to share tips, sightings and scheduled Santa appearances around town. Whether he’s at local shops, the market or cruising in during the parade, Henryetta wants to keep track of the big guy in red.

— Outdoor vendors still accepted Outdoor vendor spaces remain available for $35 per day throughout the market season. Anyone interested can contact the Chamber to secure one of the remaining spots.

— A Holiday Season Henryetta Will Never Forget With expanded vendor buildings, interactive events, celebrity appearances, dazzling decorations, giveaways and family-centered fun, the 2025 Henryetta Mistletoe Market is shaping up to be a Christmas season filled with joy, community pride and a whole lot of magic.

Grab your coats, bring your cameras, invite your friends and get ready – Christmas in Henryetta is going to shine brighter than ever.
