What to watch: Bring the kids to Centennial Park on Tuesday, Nov. 25, for a festive morning of coloring and story time, followed by letters to Santa. It’s an easy, family-friendly way to add a little holiday magic to your week.

The big picture: This special edition of Centennial Park’s regular “Story & Coloring” program adds a seasonal twist with a chance for children to write a personalized letter straight to Santa. Kids can listen to a winter-themed story, enjoy festive cookies, practice writing, and take part in a relaxed outdoor activity. Families don’t need to bring anything. Organizers supply the coloring materials, writing tools, and cookies.

Go deeper: The event runs from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. behind the Centennial Park stage pavilion and is free. This outing offers children time to create, imagine, and send off a letter to Santa before the holiday rush begins.
