Josh & Jase’s visit to Mackinac Island has been a whirlwind introduction to island life, starting with a journey that’s anything but ordinary. The British creators flew directly onto Mackinac Island, sharing the experience of landing on the island’s small runway and kicking off an adventure that blends travel, tradition, and a little winter magic.

After touching down, they were welcomed in true Mackinac fashion with a horse-drawn taxi ride into town. Trading engines for hooves offered an immediate glimpse into the island’s slower pace and timeless charm.

Their Mackinac experience didn’t stop there. Josh and Jase embraced winter on the island by trying ice fishing for the first time. They also hopped on snowmobiles, marking another first as they explored the island’s winter landscape from a new perspective.

No trip to Mackinac Island would be complete without fudge, and Josh and Jase went beyond sampling by stepping behind the counter at Joann’s Fudge. Helping make the island’s famous treat gave them a hands-on look at one of Mackinac’s most beloved traditions and earned them some serious local credibility.
