Stop and get wood on the way.
There are several good restaurants in town. However, we had Chinese students this summer and even they felt the goods in the shops were overpriced and *everything* is from China, so I wouldn't bother too much with that.
Bring slippers for in the cabin. Bring your favorite warm drinks and whatever yummy foods you want to make.
The cabins usually have plenty of blankets and pillows, but it never hurts to have some from home.

Happy holidays,

it's been a while since I've been there but yes, bring extra socks and underwear, because you will get them wet. very warm clothes. I agree with hot chocolate! It's a lot of fun there. You can go inner tubing, skiing, snowboarding. But, it will be very cold. Have fun!

Remember to bring hot chocolate and marshmellows.
Do not forget to bring snowpants/jackets and snowboots, gloves and hats. I've been camping in the winter and there is nothing worse than having your clothes all wet.
I sounds like you have a modern cabin that has electricity. It will be much better than a rustic cabin that does not have a kitchen and just a fireplace for heat.

Something to burn!!
Water proof clothing, LOTS of extra clothes, inter-tubes if you have them, boots (uggs, rainboots), snacks and food, plenty of jackets!
Last time I went up I didn't bring half as many spare clothes as I should have. If you plan on playing in the snow, I would bring a ton on extra shirts and pants for everyone so there is always something dry to put on. Maybe bring some stuff for smores and a snowman =)
