Come celebrate our savior’s birth with us!
Christmas
Kristmas Karaoke
A special Christmas themed Karaoke and Koffee night at ArtisTree!
Come early, grab a hot chocolate and make some crafts with Santa during his Workshop hours immediately prior to this event. Special Christmas themed toppings, free flavors in Hot Chocolate drinks, and half off all extravagant upgrades on waffle bowls will make this night one to remember!
You don’t need to have a “good voice” or a “trained voice” to have fun at Karaoke and Koffee, ArtisTree boasts some of the most supportive and encouraging audiences in the world.
Artists of all ages are encouraged to attend; we’ll prioritize the younger performers for the first half hour, so they can be part of the fun before they have to head home to bed!
Time: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Santa’s Workshop: Hot Chocolate and Crafts with Santa
Santa is in our Treehouse, and he needs helpers of all ages to make crafts with him 11am-7pm Friday to Sunday.
Are you tired of trying to get your child not to cry during the 15 seconds they get with Santa after waiting in a long, boring line? Try a different kind of Santa experience at the brand new ArtisTree Cafe.
Stop by and enjoy hot chocolate with a free custom flavor upgrade, pile a waffle bowl high with all the sugar you can find with half off our extravagant upgrades, and then settle in to make some unique and custom ornaments and gifts with Santa!
The focus is on experience and expression, not perfection, but you’ll still take home beautiful and unforgettable reminders of your visit. Yes! We do have crafts that are perfect for baby’s first Christmas. You can even color your own custom wrapping paper!
Personal photos with Santa are encouraged, you can use your phone, bring a camera, or ask an Elf to take one for you! This is not a line to a chair, Santa will be hanging out at the shop, helping people get ready for Christmas. If you would like a posed photo, just ask! Santa always has time for a selfie with his helpers.
Santa is, of course, disability friendly, and particularly loves neurodivergent kiddos of all ages.
Want the whole experience? Save up to 50% with full experience packages including drinks, food, custom wrapping paper, and crafts starting at only $12.
No kids but you still crave some Santa time? We’ve got more grown up themed packages for those who have been friends with Santa for decades.
