Santa Claus Dec. 12 at Packers Pro Shop

The holiday season has arrived at the Lambeau Field Atrium and a number of special features make it a perfect place to shop, enjoy a meal or simply take in the holiday spirit with a little touch of the Green and Gold.

The Festival of Lights holiday tree, with its 10,000-plus lights, and holiday music greet visitors to the Atrium.

The Packers Pro Shop is featuring a number of retail specials.

Curly's Pub gift certificates are a great gift for the holidays and can be used as stocking stuffers for clients, employees, family and friends. They are available in $10, $25 or $50 increments. For every $100 purchased, a free $10 gift certificate and Curly's Pub holiday ornament are included. Purchases or more information is available at the Curly's Pub host stand.

The holiday spirit includes a Curly's Pub Holiday Cooking Class Dec. 12 with Lambeau Field executive Chef Leo Dominguez. Dominguez will lead an interactive cooking session that will prepare pumpkin ravioli, walnut crusted goat cheese salad, garlic prime rib, twice-baked potatoes, artichoke, sausage and cheese stuffing, and bananas foster. Cost for the session is $30 per person and includes interactive cooking, the meal, recipe cards and a holiday ornament. Sold out for December – look for the next opportunity in February 2010.

Special holiday hours at the Packers Pro Shop and Packers Pro Shop Extra Points are Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Also, on Dec. 17, the Atrium and all its businesses will close to the public at 5 p.m.
