How do you spell winter love? Snowology! Icy snowflakes on the tongue? Like totally. The soothing sound of snow falling? For suuure. The wahoo of an impromptu snow angel? Oh yeah. Wrap yourself in the colors of the season (think silver or white – pajamas, onesies, track suits, all are welcome!) as we savor the ways winter can be warm and wonderful. We’ll start with cookie decorating, gift wrapping, dance parties, beverage tastings, and photo-boothing like Jack Frost.
