Kids played in the Whole Foods Market Family Area, featuring crafts, live performances, costumed characters, and pics with Santa, while parents got to stay warm with adult beverages.

The best parts of the evening was a special performance from Dru Hill, the lighting, and a spectacular fireworks finale.
