Students play period games, make ornaments and drink hot chocolate, and in the spirit of the season they work on a community service project that benefits local family services organizations. Activities are designed for ages 5 to 11 but are open to all, and the program runs from 10 am to 1 pm. Mansion tours are not included but can be added for a fee. Families can bring a picnic, and leashed dogs are welcome. Buying tickets in advance guarantees a spot; walk-ups depend on availability. ## Similar picks in Nashville - [Dickens of a Christmas in Downtown Franklin](https://grassyknees.com/nashville/activities/dickens-of-a-christmas-in-downtown-franklin--listing-dcac70376bfaf7b81183fd2c) — Sat, Dec 12 (+1 more date) · 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM · Main Street, Historic Downtown Franklin · All ages · checked Oct 24.
