Peppermint Bear Asks Witch Way To Christmas?
2025-12-20 11:00 - 12:00, 2025-12-21 09:00 - 10:00, 2025-12-21 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S. State Street, Lake Oswego, OR, 97034, United States
At this year’s North Pole pageant, Dottie is crowned “Best Elf” and in her speech remembers how it all began. Through flash-back, we see how Dottie the witch arrived at the North Pole to take back Christmas – something she had loaned to Santa for a couple thousand years. Now she wants it back, expecting that with it, she might finally get a life full of love and acceptance – just as Santa does. But, the threat of losing Christmas makes the elves reject this scary witch – that is, until Peppermint Bear uncovers what Dottie truly wants most and the elves teach her how easy it is to get it – without taking Christmas away. The story flashes-forward and everyone celebrates Dottie’s win, happy to have her part of the Christmas family at the North Pole.
The Peppermint Bear show is a classic at Lakewood Theatre Company and it’s perfect for families and full of holiday cheer. Each year a new 45-minute episode is presented. A light continental breakfast with rolls, muffins, donuts, fruit etc and juice, and coffee is provided. It’s a show that is perfect for ages 3-103. Doors open 20 minutes before each show.

The third annual Bing in the New Year celebration, presented by 1847 Food Park, will take place from 6-9 p.m. Dec. 31, 2025, in downtown Milwaukie: Birthplace of the Bing cherry.
This free, family-friendly outdoor event includes live music, cultural performances, food, drinks and vendors. The evening culminates with the lowering, by crane, of a 7-foot lighting Bing cherry at 9 p.m. (an “East Coast midnight.”) The event is hosted by the Milwaukie Arts Committee and the Oregon Chinese Coalition. It honors Ah Bing, the Chinese orchard foreman who first grew this new cherry varietal in Milwaukie in the late 1800s.
