Step into the Operating Theatre of Holiday Treats, where scalpels meet sprinkles and sweet creation becomes a deliciously grim science. Under the twisted tutelage of Nurse Sprinks—renowned surgeon, infamous baker, and unapologetic practitioner of confectionery malpractice—you’ll learn the true anatomy of a festive cookie.
Assisting her in the night’s procedures is the ever-precise Dr. Frosting, whose steady hand and questionable credentials will help the nurse in guiding you through advanced techniques including:
• Incision Icing
• Frostbite Detailing
• Organ-Layer Ornamentation
• Post-Op Edible Applications
Between sips of seasonal spirits, you’ll dissect, decorate, and ultimately revive your own tray of dark-themed holiday cookies. Expect laughter, creativity, mild moral concerns, and a whimsical dose of medical mayhem.
By the end of this one-hour clinic, you’ll emerge a certified Confectionary Surgeon… or at least leave with cookies that look convincingly alive (or dead).
Scrub in. Raise your glass. And prepare for a night of sugary surgery you’ll never forget.
Your ticket includes:
And as always, our H'elves will be tending the bar to take care of any additional drink desires. (Currently serving our Krampus menu of holiday cocktails. N/A options always available.)
