Lavender Hill Farm’s Christmas Cookie Decorating Party in Boyne City, Michigan, turns a winter evening into a hands‑on workshop of color and cheer. Hosted in the Farmhouse on Thursday, December 17, this two‑hour session invites guests to sip complimentary hot chocolate, learn step‑by‑step piping and decorating techniques from Jessica of Simply Sweet, and leave with a dozen decorated sugar cookies to take home. The setting is homey and practical: check in at the white Farmhouse, park in the Barn Loop, and settle in for guided instruction that suits first‑timers and experienced decorators alike. What makes this event special is how it converts the rhythms of a working farm into a creative holiday night out. The Farmhouse Boutique and The Copper Room are on site; arrive early to browse unique gifts or purchase a wine or spirit flight before decorating begins. Everything you need is provided—cookies, icings, tools, and decorative accents—so you can focus on technique: layering, piping, placement, and finishing touches under Jessica’s friendly guidance. This workshop is ideal for small groups, families, and solo visitors who want an active way to celebrate the season without the pressure of a formal class. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a ticket‑holding adult, and advance registration is required—the event fills quickly. Lavender Hill Farm’s accessible Farmhouse and restrooms mean many guests can participate comfortably; if you need additional assistance, contact the farm in advance. Practical details are straightforward: arrive 30–45 minutes early to park and check in, bring a printed or screenshot ticket for scanning, and expect the session to run roughly two hours. The indoor setting removes weather variability—this happens rain or shine unless the farm cancels, in which case registrants are notified and refunded. Beyond the cookies, this evening connects you with local makers: Jessica’s Simply Sweet bakery brings professional technique, while Lavender Hill Farm showcases small‑business hospitality in Boyne City. Whether you’re planning a festive girls’ night, an intergenerational family outing, or a solo creative escape, this workshop delivers tangible takeaways—a dozen decorated cookies—and social moments that outlast the frosting. Bring an open mind and appetite: the session balances instruction with relaxed social time, so expect moments for photos and swapping techniques with neighbors. Finished cookies make ready gifts or host treats, and the Farmhouse Boutique offers seasonal wrapping and small gift items if you want to turn your creations into presentable packages before heading home. Space is limited and tickets cannot be shared; each guest requires their own set.

Come for the craft, leave with treats and a new holiday skill.
