HANOVER — The Township of Hanover Recreation Department will kick off the holiday season with its annual Winter Wonderland celebration on Friday, December 12, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Hanover Township Community Center, 15 North Jefferson Road in Whippany.
This year’s event will be held entirely indoors, transforming the Community Center into a festive Winter Wonderland Village complete with cheerful holiday décor, themed craft stations, and warm hot chocolate courtesy of Hanover Township PBA Local 128.
Children are encouraged to create take-home holiday crafts and bring their Letters for Santa. Parents are asked to ensure each letter includes the child’s full name and mailing address so Santa can send a response.
Adding to the excitement, a very special guest will make an appearance at 7:00 p.m., giving families even more holiday magic to look forward to. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy all activities before the guest’s arrival.
To support local families during the holiday season, the Recreation Department will be collecting new, unwrapped toys, along with canned foods and other non-perishable items. Donations are welcomed but not required.
For those who want to experience the decorations at a more relaxed pace, the Winter Wonderland Village will remain open for walk-through viewing over the weekend:
• Saturday, December 13: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• Sunday, December 14: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
This cozy indoor celebration offers residents of all ages an enjoyable way to embrace the holiday spirit close to home.
