If you love spreading joy, crafting festive decorations, and making new friends, we NEED YOU!

Welcome to The Department of Winter – where Winters are made for the world.

Buzzing with activity, Winter Crafters use their magical skills to send Winter out across the globe. They light up the darkest days with glowing decorations, spread joy to lift our spirits, and fill the air with festive magic.

But this year, the dependable Yuletide artisans haven’t arrived for their final day of work and there’s still so much left to do! Winter hangs in the balance – can you help before the season is lost?

Roll up your sleeves and enter The Department of Winter to unleash your creativity as you make flurries of snow-flakes, design wrapping paper, play games and make a gift, in this hands-on festive crafting experience.
