The Fairhope Yacht Club Auxiliary is celebrating America’s 250th anniversary with a limited-edition Christmas ornament featuring several familiar sights from the local community.

The 2026 collectible ornament pays tribute to the nation’s semiquincentennial with a design incorporating the iconic Fairhope Pier, an American flag, the local Rose Garden and classic sailboats.

Designed by Auxiliary members, the ornaments are produced by the official manufacturer of the White House Christmas ornaments. Each $25 ornament comes in a gift box, making it ready for holiday giving.

Ornaments are available for purchase directly from Fairhope Yacht Club Auxiliary members beginning immediately. Additional opportunities to purchase include the Taste of Lower Alabama from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, at the Fairhope Piggly Wiggly and the Fairhope Yacht Club Christmas Market on Nov. 19 at the yacht club.

The Christmas Market is a ticketed event. The $30 admission fee includes a buffet lunch.

The ornaments also will be available during the Downtown Christmas Open House beginning at noon Sunday, Nov. 22, in front of M&F Casuals.

Following the Christmas Market, any remaining ornaments will be available to the general public through the Fairhope Yacht Club business office. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Proceeds from ornament sales support the Auxiliary's efforts to provide safe junior sailing instruction, educational scholarships and enhancements to the local club.
