The holidays are in full swing and what better way to celebrate than taking some time out of the holiday rush to enjoy an evening with your friends and family at SOCO and The OC Mix! This Thursday, Dec. 12, you're invited to "Mix and Jingle" at SOCO from 6-10 p.m. Then, this Saturday, Dec. 14, come back to SOCO and The OC Mix to visit with Santa - and get your free photo with the jolly old elf.
SOCO and The OC Mix are hosting two holiday events you don't want to miss! Plan to attend the free "Mix and Jingle" event at SOCO this Thursday, Dec. 12 from 6-10 p.m. and enjoy a complimentary outdoor showing of the much-loved holiday movie ELF, as well as treats, drinks, and classic carols by Trevor Wesley.
Be sure to wear your favorite ugly holiday sweater for a chance to win a prize for “Best Ugly Christmas Sweater.” Also, please bring a warm coat to donate to Project Hope Alliance - a Costa Mesa-based charity dedicated to ending homelessness in OC - to help give to those in need this holiday season. Seventh Tea Bar will offer half off on all of their tea and Portola Coffee Lab will have $2 hot chocolates! You won't want to miss the surprise element during the movie, too.
And, in other big news: Santa is coming to SOCO on Saturday from noon to 2 p.m. for an afternoon of holiday fun, featuring a free Santa photo booth! Capture memorable holiday moments of your children with Santa, while listening to the delightful live music of a professional pianist. Bring your friends and family and spend a festive Saturday at SOCO - and get your holiday shopping done, while you're at it. Be sure to arrive by noon to see Santa arrive in his sleigh!
SOCO is at 3303-3323 Hyland Ave. in Costa Mesa. For more information, visit shoptheocmix.com and sococollection.com.
