It’s a new family holiday tradition: Tea at the Westin with the ballet and Santa! Become a kid again as you enter the Westin Hotel, now completely dressed for the holidays – even including an incredible gingerbread model of Annapolis. Enjoy a holiday tea with an enticing spread of delectable treats. Hot chocolate for the kids with the works! Some of the best hot chocolate you’ll ever have.

Characters from the Ballet Theatre of Maryland’s Nutcracker cast will greet guests and pose for holiday pictures with children. The Nutcracker will then come to life as the ballerinas perform excerpts of the actual performance, coming to Maryland Hall on December 11th, 12th, 18th, and 19th.

To top it off, there will be a spectacular visit from Santa! Mr. Claus will read a very special version of The Night Before Christmas, too. Door prizes from Smyth Jewelers will be given away at each sitting.

This is a magical and memorable experience for all ages! Tickets are $35. Don’t wait to purchase tickets because they will be selling quickly. Reserve seats or a table for your family and friends before the holiday rush. There will be 2 sittings on December 11th- 10:30 am and 1:30 pm. Call 410-267-9390 for tickets and reservations. Come to the Westin Annapolis for a great holiday kick-off and tea party!
