NUTCRACKER BRUNCH AND BALLET

On Sunday, December 7, guests are invited to experience the magic of the season with a Nutcracker Brunch Buffet at Culina, in partnership with the Pasadena Civic Ballet. Inspired by the timeless holiday classic, this enchanting family-friendly event pairs a lavish culinary spread with live ballet performances that bring Clara’s dream world to life. Guests will enjoy an elegant selection of teas, coffee, and infused waters alongside an abundant buffet featuring farmers market fruits, artisanal pastries by Riccardo, and refined brunch favourites such as eggs benedict, truffle egg salad sandwiches, and a curated cheese and salumi board. Sweet indulgences abound with freshly made waffle sticks, as well as a whimsical Nutcracker Wonderland, a dazzling dessert display of macarons, sugar plum pom poms, peppermint nutcrackers, and more. Beyond the buffet, little ones and adults alike can delight in a Sugarplum decorating-pointe-shoe area, explore a festive Christmas boutique filled with Nutcracker and ballet keepsakes, and capture the moment at the Nutcracker-themed photo installations. Set to the grace and charm of Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet, this festive celebration promises to be a magical holiday experience for guests of all ages.
