Meet Carol "Kringle"
Carol Montana got the idea to open a Christmas shop while honeymooning in Germany with her now late husband, Michael. They opened Kris Kringle a year later, and have been bringing the Christmas spirit to Carmel ever since.
Carol loves getting to meet people from around the world who wander into her little shop! In her free time, she loves to golf, travel, and visit with her grandkids.
