Do you want to build a snow man? How about watching him spring to life in front of you for one day of adventures before he melts away?
One of the holiday season’s most beloved characters is making Adventure Theatre extra joyful right now… Frosty the Snowman has taken the stage and will be delighting audiences through January 11! In this merry wintertime romp, chock-full of chuckles and comic antics, Frosty gallops into the hearts of kids and adults alike — even the heart of one skeptical cop — through his uproarious antics.
Enjoying a performance is a perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with the family. (Tickets to a show also make for a great gift, since it runs beyond Christmas and Hanukkah.) And you can make a day of it at the enchanting Glen Echo Park with some fun on the playground, treats from the Praline Cafe, art viewing in the galleries, and Winter’s Eve festivities if you go on December 6.
The show runs approximately 40 minutes, and tickets can be purchased online. You can also try to win them through the giveaway below.

We LOVE the trains at the Botanic Garden!
Going on local area hikes and then stopping for hot chocolate at a neighborhood coffee shop afterwards! It’s a great way to keep the kids active when it’s cold, and the incentive of hot chocolate helps to get them out the door and through the hike.
We love drive around and watch lights! It has been a fun memory for all of us.
We enjoy ice skating
Visiting the national tree.
Our family’s favorite winter activity is checking the ice skating rinks around Washington, DC. It’s a perfect time to enjoy and experience the holidays vibe at each rink. We also like the Holiday Market on F street! Hope to win the family pack for Frosty the snow man:) Happy Holidays everyone!!
We love sledding — when it snows enough, of course! And visiting different light displays, like at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna, VA.
We love holiday movies and hot cocoa!
We love to go look at the christmas lights in our neighborhood with hot cocoa!
We have a Christmas Eve baby and we love ice-skating at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture garden and also visiting the Botanic Garden to see the outdoor train display. Lots of fun things to do this time of the year!

Looks fun, thank you!
Every year, we try and pick one of the Holiday/Light shows around the area to try out, and see which ones we like the best!
In our house, the kids are thrilled that the sun goes down early in the evening so that they can “play dark” every night after dinner… to them, this means turning out all the lights in the house and grabbing glow sticks or flashing light sticks so that they can dance/run around and around and around the family room couch while blasting loud music! We also love visiting the holiday train display at the US botanical gardens to see the amazing creativity of artists using nature as their inspiration for every year’s new theme.
We love making Christmas cookies together and putting up decorations
We have a Christmas movie marathon with friends every year that is a highlight!
Snowball fight!
We love riding our bikes through the Watkins Park light display the night before opening day!
Snow tubing is a family favorite in our household.
I’m German so visiting Christmas Markets is the thing for us!
We love sledding when there is enough snow for it!
We love going to the Holiday market near Art Gallery and enjoy art, food and hot chocolate 😃
Visiting the Holiday Train Show at the Botanical Gardens, Christmas markets & hot cocoa/cider.
The lights at Watkins Regional Park are a favorite of ours.
Our family’s FAVORITE winter adventure are the trains at the botanical gardens!
Our family loves to go see the trains and each year’s different Christmas themes/decorations at the U.S. Botanic Garden in DC!
We picked up skiing last winter (first time for the parents and kiddos) and we are eager to get out again!
We love driving around with hot cocoa looking at all the Christmas lights!
