Field notes
Why it belongs
Year-round Christmas store, German-style gift shop, nutcracker gallery, ornament boutique and Alpine-town visitor stop.
The combination of four decades of continuity, year-round holiday inventory and Leavenworth's purposefully Bavarian setting gives the shop a strong place-based character.
Kris Kringl has sold Christmas ornaments, nutcrackers, smokers and holiday décor on Front Street for four decades. The business is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026, and its year-round store fits naturally into Leavenworth's Bavarian-style downtown while retaining a distinct long-running identity.
