Finals are over and families are reuniting—the holiday season is here and The Atherton Hotel has a little something for everyone. Join us on December 16th for a joyous evening of Milk and Cookies with Santa. Starting at 5:30 pm, parents can bring their little ones for snacks and snag a pic with jolly old Saint Nick! After the kids have enjoyed their holiday treats, whether you’re in the mood for cocktails, artisan beer, or top-of-the-line wine, head to The State Room for some seasonal spirits. Popular winter flavors include cranberry, ginger, orange, cinnamon, and vanilla. We recommend if you’re building your own, to mix these flavors with either a dry red wine, vodka, or brandy as a base. Sparkling drinks are also a December favorite, and at The State Room, you can find an Italian Prosecco or Moscato, as well as a fancy French Brut. After all, a little libation helps to keep the winter weather at bay.
