The holiday season is here, and so is one of our favorite traditions ... supporting small businesses, and shopping local, hence our 12 Days of Local Love! This year, Macaroni KID SE Kansas City, MO received an amazing response from local businesses across Belton, Raymore, Peculiar, Grandview, South KC, Lee’s Summit, Independence, Blue Springs, and beyond. It was truly heartwarming to see how many incredible businesses wanted to connect with local families.
After reviewing all the applications, we are excited to introduce the 12 businesses selected for our 2025 12 Days of Local Love spotlight! Each one brings something special to our community, and we can’t wait to share their stories.
Over the next 12 days, we’ll reveal one featured business per day on our social media channels. Each daily reveal will include a social media post so you can get to know these amazing local spots and support them throughout the holiday season.
Below, you’ll find the full list of selected businesses. We’ll update each section with links and a brief description as they’re announced on social media.
