Cookies & Cocoa with Santa Event Brings Holiday Cheer to The Mansion!
Abigail Merola

The Academy of Notre Dame de Namur was delighted to welcome members of the ND Alumnae community and their families to Cookies & Cocoa with Santa on Sunday, December 7, for a festive morning filled with joy, connection, and holiday spirit.

The morning started off on a musical note as the Academy’s Women’s Chorale sang a selection of beloved Christmas songs, setting a warm and joyful tone for the festivities. Their beautiful performance helped welcome families to the Mansion and helped announce the arrival of a very special guest.

The iconic Mansion was transformed into a cheerful gathering space where guests enjoyed hot cocoa, coffee and delicious cookies while spending time together. Laughter and conversation filled the rooms as families gathered to celebrate cherished ND traditions. The highlight of the morning was the arrival of Santa Claus, where children had the opportunity to share their Christmas wishes, take photos, and create magical memories that will last long after the holidays.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Cookies & Cocoa with Santa. It was truly a magical morning filled with community, laughter, beautiful music, and plenty of Christmas spirit. We are so grateful to our alumnae and their families for making this event so special.
