Ho-Ho-Holiday Fun on a Budget for Seattle-Area Families in 2023

Woodinville’s Molbak’s Garden + Home also gets all decked out for the holidays, with poinsettias of every size and color—from pale green to deep burgundy—plus greenery, lights and decorated trees. Snap a photo of your growing kids in front of the 14-foot poinsettia tree. A host of holiday events is on the docket this year. Woodinville Winterfest activities take place Saturday, Dec. 2, and include live theater, carolers and the festival tree lighting at 5:30 p.m. , right across the street. On Sunday, Dec. 10, enjoy a mini showcase of dances from the “The Nutcracker” performed by local dance students. Most importantly, Molbak’s will again serve free Danish kringle and coffee on weekends through Dec. 17, noon–3 p.m. Get in line!

Details: Molbak’s is open daily, 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Check the full calendar of holiday events and plan a visit. It’s free to browse but note there are many pretty things to buy, too.
