Step into the magic of the holidays with The Elf Emporium, a one-of-a-kind holiday shopping experience where kids become Santa’s little helpers for the day!

Children will be guided by our cheerful volunteer “Elves” as they explore a festive marketplace of 12 local vendors, each offering affordable and thoughtful gifts perfect for parents, siblings, and loved ones.

After shopping, kids can enjoy a full North Pole adventure complete with:

🎨 Elf Craft Corner – Create handmade ornaments and holiday cards

🎅 Character Experience & Selfie Station – Meet Santa, Mrs. Claus, and surprise guests for photos

🍪 Mrs. Claus’ Cookie Kitchen – Decorate your own cookie with frosting & sprinkles sponsored by Oak Hill Homemades

🎀 Gift Wrapping Station – Wrap each gift with the help of our volunteer elves.

While the kids are busy making memories, parents can unwind next door in The Reindeer Lounge, a cozy retreat featuring:

🥂 Holiday-inspired drinks & mocktails (like Mistletoe Mimosas & Peppermint Cocoa)

🍳 Brunch bites & sweet treats
