Breakfast bites including doughnuts, muffins, and more were served.
On Saturday, December 2, guests gathered at CoolSprings Galleria in Franklin for Ginger-Snapped, a fun holiday experience for the whole family.
Each kiddo took a picture with Santa, told him what is on their Christmas list this year, and mailed letters to the North Pole. While waiting for their visit with Santa, families participated in the gingerbread house-making contest. They built their gingerbread house from scratch and were crafty about the icing and candy décor, creating beautiful kid-approved masterpieces and lots of festive holiday memories. A panel of judges picked Noah Dennis and Amy Dennis as the gingerbread house winners, and they went home with a gift basket full of goodies from retailers and restaurants at CoolSprings Galleria!
While crafting their perfect gingerbread houses, adults and kids alike also enjoyed the hot cocoa and coffee bar with plenty of marshmallows and whip cream, courtesy of Café Latte at CoolSprings Galleria. There were also yummy breakfast bites to snack on including doughnuts, muffins, cornbread toaster tops, chocolate croissants, and raspberry Danish pastries.
