THE SWEETEST WINTER PARTY
A Winter Cookie Wonderland at A House In Austin
December 5–6, 2026
​
For one winter weekend, the Big Blue House will be transformed into an immersive family experience filled with hands-on baking, creative workshops, winter games, family portraits, cocoa, fireside s’mores, and plenty of opportunities to make something worth bringing home.
​
Designed especially for families with children up to 12, The Sweetest Winter Party brings together the warmth of the season, beautiful family moments, and thoughtful experiences children can genuinely participate in.
