MacKID Brentwood's First Ever Candy Cane Hunt!: Registration Is Open!

A fun way to celebrate the season is coming to Brentwood!

By By Krista Naldjian, publisher of Macaroni KID Brentwood November 19, 2024

The Holidays are here and we're so excited to celebrate with local families this year.  As a fun way to celebrate the season, we're hosting our first ever Candy Cane Hunt at Be Exceptional in Brentwood!

The event is being held on Sunday, December 15th at Be Exceptional located at 1265 Dainty Ave in Brentwood, CA and we will have 2 time slots:

  • 10-11:15 am (for kids ages 0-5)
  • 12-1:15 pm (for kids ages 6-10)

We have a fun event planned starting with the main event, a Candy Cane Hunt!  (Think an Easter Egg Hunt but with Candy Canes.)  Each child can find 15 candy canes.  After that, kids will be able to check out a few different stations with crafts, activities, and a snack all included.  We'll finish with a Christmas Story time and a small wrapped gift for each child to take home with them. (Santa won't be able to attend this event but he's leaving gifts for the kids the night before so they will have something to go home with) 

Important Info for the Candy Cane Hunt

*There are 2 separate time slots, so please sign up for the one appropriate for your child's age.  (We want to make sure the little ones don't get trampled by the big kids so we're separating into 2 groups: 5 and under, and 6-10 years old.

* $25 per child
* This event lasts 75 minutes.
* Please arrive 10 minutes prior to start time to check in. Candy Cane Hunt will begin promptly when event starts.  There is parking in front of Be Exceptional as well as the preschool next door which won't be open over the weekend.  If all spots are filled, please look for street parking. 

*Parents must stay the entire duration of the event.
