What is happening at Luciole this December?

From the first week of December until the holidays, the atelier turns festive. Every day we are open (Tuesday to Sunday), there is a Christmas activity led by our animators, so you can drop by on a weekday afternoon after school or plan a weekend morning around it.

The projects change through the month. Expect things like:

  • Christmas ornaments children design, paint and decorate to hang on the tree at home
  • Festive baking with our Little Chefs: cookies and holiday treats to decorate and take home
  • Christmas cards and gift wrap, so the presents for grandparents are made by hand
  • Holiday crafts with paint, clay, collage and recycled materials

Everything your child makes goes home with them. The day-by-day programme, times and prices are shared on WhatsApp: message us on +961 81 540 282 and our team will send you all the details.

Is there a Christmas camp too?

Yes. On top of the daily activities, our winter camp runs during the Christmas school break: a week of making, baking and celebrating, with a small festive show for parents on the last day. Camp dates and rates are announced on Instagram @luciole.lebanon and sent on WhatsApp.

How to plan a festive family day in Jounieh Souks

  1. Book the Christmas activity on WhatsApp so your child has a spot.
  2. Drop them at the atelier and enjoy a coffee, brunch or the salad bar at our café and bistro, open to everyone, a few steps away.
  3. Pick up their creation and take a walk through the souks together.

On a rainy December day, the atelier is also an easy plan: see our indoor activities in Jounieh.

Can we have a Christmas birthday party?

Yes. A December birthday can follow a festive theme: ornaments, baking or holiday crafts as the party workshop. See our birthday packages and book early, December weekends fill up fast.
