About this Event
Younger children are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild while decorating cookies and attending a captivating French story time, while older children will make delicious holiday treats in our cooking workshops. Everyone (parents included!) will have the opportunity to get creative with holiday-themed arts and crafts activities. Complimentary hot chocolate and festive treats are also included.
The event will conclude with a special visit from Papa Noël, who will speak (in French or English) to each child.
Each child must be accompanied by an adult.
