East Cobb Holiday events: Last chance with Santa; Nativity scene; more

A week remains before Christmas, and related holiday events in and around East Cobb will be wrapping up by the middle of next week.

At The Avenue East Cobb (4475 Roswell Road), Christmas Confetti will take place from 12-2 p.m., with a chance for kids to visit Santa Claus and his elves. It’s a free event with plenty of photo opportunities for families.

Later Sunday, the Episcopal Church of St. Peter St. Paul is having a drive-through Nativity scene Sunday from 5-8 p.m.

The scene includes live animals and a stable scene. The church is located at 1795 Johnson Ferry Road.

On Thursday, Dec. 23, the last of holiday festivities at The Avenue East Cobb will be Pet Photos with Santa at the Gussied Up Pet Boutique from 5-7 p.m. There’s no ticketing, but availability is first-come, first-served.

Also, Dec. 23 is the last day kids can get their photos taken with Santa Claus at Town Center at Cobb (400 Ernest Barrett Parkway).

Santa’s also going to hang around at The Battery Atlanta (800 Battery Avenue) during Santa’s Post Office from 12-6 Saturday through Christmas Eve at the Community Center. Kids can drop off their wish-list letters, and parents can take photos.

Life University’s traditional Lights of Life display continues nightly through New Year’s Eve. The drive-by display opens at dark and continues until 9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and until 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday. The cost is $10 per car and $20 for buses. 1269 Barclay Circle.

An East Cobb holiday display tradition is back for its 14th year—the Fox Family’s dazzling, musically synchronized drive-by display at 2994 Clary Hill Court. The lights go on from 6-10 p.m. through Jan. 6, and you asked to make a donation to Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church or Children’s Health Care of Atlanta.

The Cobb GIS office has compiled an interactive map of Holiday Lights in Cobb to enjoy as long as they’re up. You can also add yours.
