THE WOODLANDS, TX -- On Saturday, December 13, 2025 from 9:00am - 2:00pm, The Woodlands Children’s Museum will offer an atmosphere of pure North Pole magic, filled with music, art and interactive play, truly embracing the holiday spirit.

As guests step inside, they are greeted with live holiday music presented by the Lone Star Strummers. During the day, guests are invited to visit and pose for photos with Olaf from Frozen and engaging in hands-on snow play creating shapes with handfuls of white flakes.

The event also features a visit with jolly old St. Nick. Santa will be happy to hear all of the children’s Christmas wishes as well as pose for a framed professional photo which will surely be a treasured family keepsake.

At 9:30am, Mrs. Claus will present her first special holiday reading followed by two more readings at 11:30am and 1:30pm.

Stroll over to Mrs. Claus’s Gingerbread House Workshop, where young candy architects can use frosting as cement and gumdrops to decorate shingles and construct a holiday masterpiece.

"We are excited to welcome back Le Theatre de Marionette’s Peppermint Twist show on stage at 10:30am,” stated the museum’s Executive Director Angela Colton. “The show's puppetry offers an opportunity for young guests to experience this timeless art form with its unique blend of artistry, skill, and imagination.” After the show, children can spend time exploring exhibits and visiting The Muse art bar to create a special holiday art project. Upon exiting, be sure to enjoy a holiday treat bag to take home.
