Unglued
Christmas Camp
DOES SOMEBODY NEED A HUG?
Yes. And by yes I mean we all literally do.
SO THIS IS OUR HUG TO YOU.
The world's best cup of CHRISTMAS CAMP!
Saturday, December 14, 2024 all at Brewhalla.
Like summer camp in a snow globe.
Coming back for it's 2nd year so we can call this an annual thing we do now. We'll make smiling your favorite and help you treat every day like Christmas.
So welcome to Unglued Christmas Camp! Pairs well with a "You have such a pretty face. You should be on a Christmas card." vibes. And lighting up every floor button in an elevator.
This winter wonderland day includes totally free fun along with ticketed fun and you'll earn a merry merit badge for attending any of them. You choose your Son of a Nutcracker adventure below and if you earn 5 merry merit badges you'll get a lil Unglued gift as your Christmas Camp award. Please note Christmas Camp is for adults, but kids will have their own Kids Christmas Day in Brewhalla on Dec 15!
Your holly jolly schedule is further below to choose from, but here's our other recs to fill your day with in between what you choose:
*New this year! Buy a ticket for any full workshop and you'll get access 10am-7pm to our camp lounge with 3 "make shit any time" projects, snackies, and bevvies! Access is for the ticket holder only so come hang with our crew or get a bestie (or whole clique) along for the ride to join you!
*WEAR YOUR CHRISTMAS GEAR. We'll be decked out and recommend you make it merry, too. Wear your sweats for yoga and bring a bag to change in Brewhalla's bathrooms to throw back on that Christmas sweater or light up necklace.
*Bring your holiday cards to fill out! Brewhalla is the perfect place to grab a cozy corner and a coffee to check that off your list.
*Shop!! Work on that Christmas list in Brewhalla at all the kick ass vendors' shops and head downtown to keep your shopping going in between your Christmas campy fun.
*Eat & Drink at Brewhalla! From woodfire pizza to Nodak Smash Burgers, gelato to beer, wine, and coffee you can choose your food and drink adventure throughout the day to fill that tum.
*I mean, why not crash at Brewhalla, too?! Grab a hotel room so you can make it a whole staycation or winter vay-cay bb!

You'll go home with the merriest jewelry that will prove the best way to spread holiday cheer is by wearing ridiculous charm jewelry. By registering for this ticket you'll be able to drop in any time between noon-5pm (although the bar closes up at 5pm so last call 4:30pm to start!) at our Christmas Camp HQ to charm it up and be able to purchase extra pieces to make that day, too.
