Purdue Memorial Union to welcome holiday season

The Purdue Memorial Union will soon be full of holiday spirit as this year’s Christmas tree makes its way into the Great Hall on Friday (Nov. 22). A hot apple cider bar and ornament crafting area will be open for visitors at 11:30 a.m.; the tree will be delivered around noon.

The tree lighting ceremony will take place at 5:30-8 p.m. Nov. 25 in the Great Hall. The community is invited to enjoy musical performances and light refreshments during the ceremony.

The Purdue Memorial Union and Union Club Hotel are slated to host a variety of holiday celebrations, including a cookie decorating class, a holiday market and a “Polar Express” night with train rides and a viewing of the film.

The Purdue Student Union Board and Union Club Hotel will once again present the popular Breakfast with Santa tradition 9 a.m.-noon Dec. 7 in the Purdue Memorial Union’s North and South ballrooms. Organizers prefer tickets to be purchased in advance, but doing so is not required.

Additional details and a full calendar of events can be found on the Union’s website and within the Union Club Hotel’s 24 Days of Features promotion.
