Participants engaged in activities like sugar cookie decorating. A special highlight was Smash n’ Shake’s exclusive sugar cookie Rothefeller Shake, which was available as a limited-edition treat.

The evening concluded with the lighting of the Rothefeller tree. The tree, adorned with white lights and gold ornaments, illuminated the area and captured the holiday spirit for all attendees.
