Candy Cottage of Christmas Magic was launched on November 5 to run through January 2
Candy Cottage of Christmas Magic is making its debut at Rockefeller Centre this year, adding to the festivities in the heart of New York, United States. The ticketed experience is sure to appeal to guests of all ages to discover an immersive, candy-coated wonderland before setting off on a magical scavenger hunt through Rockefeller Centre’s campus, says a press statement.
According to the statement, the concept of Candy Cottage of Christmas Magic was inspired by a fabled tale that an old cottage, nestled inside the trunk of a Christmas Tree, is being flooded with magical sugar that is pouring in at the seams, which cottage keepers turn into edible candy for all who enter.
Located at the Channel Gardens at 610 Fifth Avenue, Suite 7, the Candy Cottage of Christmas Magic was launched on November 5 to run through January 2. Hours of operation are Sunday to Saturday 10 am to 8 pm. Tickets are priced at USD 25-45 per person depending on the day of the week and time, adds the press statement.
In describing the unique experience, the firm adds that when guests enter into the Candy Cottage of Christmas Magic, they will be immersed into a swirling, sugar rush fantasy inside a Christmas tree. They will meet two Cottage Keepers who are feverishly spinning sugar into candy for the holiday revelers who are also encouraged to pluck as much candy as they want from the cottage walls.
The statement adds that once guests have fulfilled their candy wonderland dreams, they will be presented with a specially tailored map to set out on a scavenger hunt through Rockefeller Center to discover their own Christmas magic. Upon completion of the scavenger hunt, guests are encouraged to return to the cottage, which has been completely transformed, to receive a gift magically produced out of thin air with a personalised message.
The statement adds that this whole experience is curated by We Are Smile Studio, a new company creating immersive theatrical experiences founded by six-time Tony Award-winning theater and film producer Arielle Tepper and Creative Producer Vance Garrett of notable projects such as Museum of Ice Cream and Sleep No More, among others. The Candy Cottage of Christmas Magic is the first of We are Smile Studio’s many experiential collaborations to come.
“It is our hope when you leave the Candy Cottage, you take the essence of Christmas and magic of the holiday spirit to remember forever. We want to create immersive experiences that are special, transformational and leave lasting memories,” says Co-Founders of We Are Smile Studio Arielle Tepper and Vance Garrett.
