Tips & Advice
- Bring an unwrapped toy to donate to the Children's Advocacy Center of Collin County, since the event collects toys for the cause.
- Bundle up for an evening outdoors in the park, especially if the kids plan to try the snow tube.
- Bring a way to pay, because the event is free but food and artisan vendors charge for what they sell.
- Take your time, because the s'mores station, reindeer, Santa photos and crafts all run for the full event rather than at set times.
