Some of best things about Christmas are cookies, cocoa and the Clauses. Join Mrs. Claus and some of Santa’s elves for an evening for fun, food and reading.

This free holiday celebration for the entire family will feature a performance of their show “Peppermint Twist” by Le Theatre de Marionette, trackless train rides, the Uptown Carolers, a live reindeer and sleigh for photo opportunities, face painting and balloon making, a ukulele concert, and a special appearance by Mrs. Claus.

This program will provide a play group for your child and a break away from the Y for you to shop, run errands, have an extended lunch, see a movie or just relax.

Each gazebo will be encased in glass and extravagantly decorated on all sides to provide a dramatic, three-dimensional experience, and will feature mechanical parts and festive music that will assist in bringing the characters to an even more life-like state. Enjoy the .75-mile walk through the garden exhibit, as you witness these handcrafted gazebos spread across our winter wonderland.

A Holiday Special begins with "Winter Wonderland" set to familiar Christmas tunes with choreography by Margo Dean followed by Memories of Frosty, based on the well known story Frosty the Snowman, as the featured ballet, with choreography by Christine Hay and restaged by Webster Dean.
