WHAT TO EXPECT

One great night

Kick off the holiday season with a magical evening for the entire family! Enjoy dinner in an elegant setting along with your children. Cheer them on in the pajama parade and capture that special moment with a photo with Santa.

Grab some great stuff at the interactive auction

Hey bidder bidder bidder! Get ready to work out your arms bidding for some fantastic gift baskets. A few lucky children will even have the opportunity to take over the stage with our professional auctioneer to sell some of the family-friendly auction baskets!

The perfect food and drinks for the perfect night

Enjoy a full breakfast buffet (yes, breakfast for dinner!) to fill up for the night’s fun activities. Top off your meal with a visit to the hot-chocolate bar for kids, or the cash adult-bar. This year you can purchase an adult drink wristband for all-inclusive access to the cash bar.
