CHOCOLATE FROM SCRATCH
BY JCRAFTS
At JCrafts by Chabad, see how chocolate is made from scratch, all the way
down to removing the shell off the nibs of the cacao beans. The Rockville
chocolate factory will showcase the connection between Jewish history and
chocolate and the role chocolate plays in the culture today. Students will
make their own kosher-themed treats and take home their own homemade
box of chocolates.

Tickets start at $13.

kosherchocolatefactory.com/workshops What better way to enjoy holiday movies than to bundle up in cozy
blankets with some local grab-and-go food and treats at this free weekly
outdoor event at the plaza in National Harbor? Classics such as “Elf,” “The
Year Without A Santa Claus” and “It’s a Wonderful Life” will be showing
throughout the month.

WATERSKIING SANTA
We all know Santa loves the snow—but what about waterskiing? In fact, he
never misses waterskiing on the historic Old Town Alexandria Waterfront.

You can catch the longest running waterski Christmas show anywhere
between Founders Park and Point Lumley Park. After the show, children and
families can meet Santa, Mrs. Claus and their merry crew by the Christmas
tree in Waterfront Park.
