Downtown Batavia is getting its own little slice of the North Pole this December as Zen Loft Collective transforms into a festive holiday pop-up with twinkling lights, creative photo spots, and a warm, cozy vibe.

Here’s what to know:

  • Limited-time experience: The North Pole Pop-Up runs on select Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in December, with ticketed time slots to keep things comfortable and uncrowded.

  • Plenty of photo ops: Guests can wander through interactive photo areas designed by local businesses and creatives — ideal for family pictures, group shots, and festive selfies.

  • Shop small indoors: A Christkindlmarkt-style mini market will feature local makers, crafters, and small businesses selling handmade gifts and holiday goodies.

  • Extra holiday touches: Expect warm drinks, live seasonal music, letters to Santa, contests with prizes, and a build-your-own hot cocoa bar to keep everyone in the spirit.

If you’re looking for an easy, local way to kick off the holidays, the North Pole Pop-Up at Zen Loft Collective should make it onto your seasonal to-do list.
