Saint Charles Christmas Traditions® - Naughty vs. Nice

  • Foundry Art Centre 520 North Main Center St. Charles United States (map)

Sunday, December 15 - 6pm to 7:30pm

Experience the tale of two Christmases as the Foundry Art Centre is caught in the middle of a battle between "merry" and "mischief." On one side, experience the NICE side of the holidays. Mingle with Victorian Santa & Mrs. Claus, participate in an epic dance party with the Sugarplum Fairy and Nutcracker Prince, and enjoy cookies, crafts, & coloring with a multitude of cheerful yuletide friends.

You can party with the Clauses all night, or if you dare, you can step behind the curtain into the NAUGHTY side, where you'll find Krampus, the punitive partner of St. Nick popular in Germany and Austria. He's brought along a variety of eccentric ne'er-do-wells...but don't worry, this perfect blend of Halloween and Christmas is more "merry" than "scary" and fun for the whole family. Team up with trolls and ogres to participate in carnival games, press your luck with the "White Elephant Gift-a-Palooza" for the chance to win bizarre gifts, get a holiday themed tarot card reading, and let out your frustrations as Krampus himself leads the "airing of grievances."

It's a night full of surprises that you can't experience anywhere else!
