Participating non-profits and retailers will include, Target and The Book Fairies, Sephora and Glow Cultural Center, Uniqlo and Queens Museum, Qbedding and Queen Tourism Council, Coco Tea and Flushing BID and Everyday Beauty and Garden of Hope.
Voting is open through Dec. 24.
Additionally, on Dec. 1, complimentary gingerbread house kits will be offered by participating retailers, such as Sephora, Everyday Beauty, QBedding and Grandma’s Dimsum, as a gift with a purchase. More information will be made available by retailers.
The center’s Holiday Weekend celebration will begin on Dec. 9, between 2 and 5 p.m., and will require pre-registration, accessible here, to enter the express line for an experience that features live jazz music and dance performances to highlight their magical tree lighting ceremony and a complimentary photo op with Santa Claus.
The following weekend, on Dec. 16, from 2 and 4 p.m., the shopping center will offer a punch needle arts and crafts session that will revolve around crafting holiday-themed punch needle art with the help of a renowned textile artist, along with a gingerbread house and holiday cocktail-making session available at 4 p.m.
