Giveaway: Win a Family 4 Pack of Tix to Sesame Place, A Very Furry Christmas!

Calling all Sesame Street fans young and old! There is one place you can find a full line up of your favorite Sesame Street characters decked out for the holidays and waiting to greet you- That place is right in Langhorne, Pa at Sesame Place! Sesame Place really knows how to do it up with it comes to Christmas and the holidays. They have special shows, holiday foods, a themed parade and more. My favorite thing is how all of the characters dress up for winter! There is nothing more precious than seeing Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, Zoe and others ready to give holiday hugs to their little friends (and of course to Mom and Dad, too)! 

When you do plan to visit Sesame Place during A Very Furry Christmas you will want to arrive in the day time and stay until dark! There is plenty to do and you don’t want to miss any of it! It will certainly be a day to remember for you and your family. After the sun goes down you can enjoy The Neighborhood Street Party Christmas Parade where you can wave, sing and dance along to your favorite holiday tunes. One of my favorite shows is when everyone gathers around the gigantic beautifully decorated Christmas tree (near the entrance) 1-2-3 Christmas Tree Show! I guarantee you will love it!

During the day you may want to see any or all of the other shows: Elmo the Musical, Christmas!, A Sesame Street Christmas Show and Elmo’s Christmas Wish Show. Please don’t ask me which one I like the best! It may takes hours of me going back and forth deciding! They are ALL good! As far as rides go you will want to visit the Winter only ones for sure. Those are the rides that are only available during the holiday season. The Sesame Place Furry Express is little train ride that takes you through the cookie making process of how the Twiddlebugs make their gingerbread cookies! It’s great during the day or at night. At night everything is lit up, so you may want to do it both during the day and night! Check out more about the rides available here: https://sesameplace.com/rides

Paddington 2 In Theaters January 12

In the words of Paddington Bear, “If we’re kind and polite the world will be right”. If only we all lived by those few simple words, what a world it would be. Paddington has been a household name around here forever. How can anyone resist that adorable little bear and his antics. Our family absolutely loved the first Paddington movie and cannot wait to see what Paddington 2 brings us. Judging by the trailer we are going to love it! Honestly, I wish we could have him visit our own home for just a night!!

Following the worldwide hit “Paddington,” one of the most successful family films of all time, this much-anticipated sequel finds Paddington (Ben Whishaw) happily settled with the Brown family in London, where he has become a popular member of the local community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes.

While searching for the perfect present for his beloved Aunt Lucy’s hundredth birthday, Paddington sees a unique pop-up book in Mr. Gruber’s antique shop, and embarks upon a series of odd jobs to buy it.  But when the book is stolen, it’s up to Paddington and the Browns to unmask the thief.

Reuniting many of the original film’s cast while welcoming those in new roles, “Paddington 2” stars Golden Globe nominee Hugh Bonneville (“Downton Abbey”), Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (“Blue Jasmine”), three-time Golden Globe nominee Brendan Gleeson (“The Guard,” “Into the Storm,” “In Bruges”), Oscar nominee Julie Walters (“Billy Elliot,” “Educating Rita”), Oscar winner Jim Broadbent (“Iris”), and Oscar winner Peter Capaldi (short, “Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life”), with Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winner Hugh Grant (“Four Weddings and a Funeral”), and BAFTA winner Ben Whishaw (“The Hollow Crown”) as the voice of Paddington.

The film was produced by multiple award-winning producer David Heyman (the “Harry Potter” films, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” Oscar nominee for “Gravity”).   Serving as executive producers were Rosie Alison, Jeffrey Clifford, Alexandra Ferguson Derbyshire, Ron Halpern, and Didier Lupiter. “Paddington 2” is rated PG.
