This event is packed with activities for the whole family.

This paint-and-sip event is just the ticket for the adults who want to unwind with a brush in one hand and a drink in the other. Hosted by Classpop! at Pinot’s Palette in Elk Grove, this class is perfect for beginners and seasoned painters alike.

A skilled instructor will guide you as you create a holiday-themed masterpiece in a relaxed setting. It’s a great way to spend an evening with friends or meet new people while sipping your favorite beverage. Pinot’s Palette offers food and drinks on-site (yes, wine lovers—they’ve got you covered).

Like the previous event, an instructor will guide you through creating your artwork step-by-step. Whether you’re painting Santa’s cheerful face or his iconic red suit (spoiler alert: it’s probably both), this session is all about fun and festive vibes.

Bonus Holiday Treat: Gingerbread Roulade Cake Recipe

If you’re more into whipping up something sweet than wielding a paintbrush, why not try your hand at making a Gingerbread Roulade Cake? This dessert is as festive as it gets—think spiced cake rolled up with creamy filling. You can find the full recipe on Food Network’s website if you’re feeling adventurous in the kitchen this season.

Elk Grove has plenty of ways to make your December merry and bright. Whether you’re painting gnomes with your kids or sipping wine while crafting Santa’s portrait, these events are bound to fill your calendar—and your heart—with holiday spirit.
