NEENAH (NBC 26) — Friday, Future Neenah announced the annual A Very Neenah Christmas has been reinvented for 2020 to safely bring the public a month full of festivities for the winter season.

Also starting Friday, and going until December 19, is the Downtown Neenah Gingerbread Scavenger Hunt. You will need to find all 12 hidden gingerbread cookies throughout the Downtown district to be entered to win a two-foot tall gingerbread cookie from Festival Foods.
Additionally, make sure to also drop off your letter to Santa at the mailbox in front of the Future Neenah office before December 19 and your child will receive a postcard response from Santa. Just be sure to include your return address so Santa knows where to send the letter!
