Cinnamon Grand’s most popular children’s event Santa’s Workshop on 21 December was a great success this year, as over 200 children attended the event. Bustling work stations and thrilling new surprises encroached every corner at the workshop held in the Atrium, which was turned into a hive of activity, with the Cinnamon Grand team pulling out all stops, to ensure a memorable day for the kids.

One of many things that Santa wanted done this year at the workshop was to be environmentally responsible. Dismiss used wrapping paper, old magazines and the remnants of party decorations as junk?

Think again. Santa kept his promise of letting the kids in on some of his closely guarded secrets on how to turn the most unexpected things into something special which can be used even after Christmas, (during the coming year), if they learn to cultivate the recycling habit!

The naughty list handled by elf Alabaster snowball, a make-your-own Christmas Teddy Bear option sponsored by Toys and I, the unique store at No. 40, Stratford Avenue, Kirulapana, Colombo 6, and the art of making handmade recycled note pad covers, a special session done by Monica de Lanerolle Designs, added much excitement at the event. That’s not all, the Cinnamon Grand’s talented chefs, also managed to decode Santa’s very special secret chocolate recipe and helped the kids turn out their own brand of chocolate options, in a truly indulgent treat!
