Kids
Dinner with Santa
Exclusively
offered on Dec. 21 and 22, the beloved Kids
Dinner with Santa brings little ones aged 4 to 12 face-to-face with
the hero of the holiday season – Santa Claus himself. Available as an event
or as part of an overnight package, kids will have the chance to spend
a special dinner with Santa and his elves and participate in a holiday
games, crafts and activities. With great popularity and limited openings,
this program sells out each year, so guests are advised to book early.
Sustainable
Holiday Tree
The
biggest holiday tree in Central California is the centerpiece of Tenaya’s
holiday celebration and greets visitors in the lobby through the end of
December. This giant, 35-foot fir tree is sustainably harvested each year
and set aglow in a grand tree lighting ceremony each November.
Gingerbread
House & Ornament Workshops
On
Dec. 20 and 22, guests and locals alike are invited to test their DIY skills
– and resist the urge to snack on their masterpieces – at the lodge’s wildly
popular Gingerbread
House Workshops. For $75, cookie and candy architects get all the fixings
to build the ultimate dream house, as well as expert guidance from Tenaya’s
culinary team, while onlookers are welcome to browse the “neighborhood”
free of charge. And, to deck the halls at home, crafty visitors are invited
to an Ornament
Decorating Workshop on Dec. 21, 22 and 23. Holiday lovers of all ages
can take part in this two-hour session, during which participants can customize
a set of six ornaments or personal stockings with a store of festive décor
worthy of Santa’s workshop. Cost is $30 per package of six ornaments.
