Time: 6:00-10:00 pm
Venue: Barn at Hobbit Hollow

A wonderful holiday tradition, now in its 28th year, A Christmas Suite is held annually on the second Saturday in December. Our 2026 holiday celebration will take place on Saturday, December 12.
Hosted by the Falcone Family and held in the stunningly decorated barn at Hobbit Hollow, 3061 West Lake Rd in Skaneateles. The evening will feature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by dinner and desserts, then dancing to live music with Mere Mortals amidst a wonderland of glittering lights and Christmas trees.
This year’s theme is A Woodland Starry Night.
Step into the forest after dark beneath a canapy of stars glowing overhead. Wander through the hush of the woods, warm up with something cozy to sip, and settle in as the night comes alive. Come for the stars, stay for the enchantment!
