Deets: PopSugar, the leading digital lifestyle brand for millennial and Gen-Z women, will host its first-ever “Sugar Chalet,” a one-day experiential destination in the NYC area on Saturday, November 23.
Upon entry to the two-story Sugar Chalet, guests will be transported into a magical winter wonderland, where the luxurious aprés-ski life looms large, complete with cozy corners, colorful plaids, snowy backdrops and wooden chalet-inspired nooks, creating the ultimate holiday destination in the heart of Manhattan. A larger-than-life hearth will invite guests to explore the wintry dreamland, which will include an interactive gifting wall filled with a cache of holiday gifts behind secret compartments, providing a carefully-curated surprise-and-delight moment to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.
An inventive twist on the traditional holiday pop-up, Sugar Chalet offers a playful, modern and interactive experience, including a meditation den, yoga classes, curated culinary workshops, holiday shopping bazaar, and plenty of postcard worthy scenes, perfect for capturing memorable moments with friends and family.
Sugar Chalet incorporates must-visit interactive moments from Athleta, e.l.f. Cosmetics, Nature’s Way, Seventh Sense and 6pm.com, among others, inviting guests to discover, engage, and shop today’s most creative brands while offering inspiration for the gift giving season.
PopSugar Sugar Chalet’s programming will include the following:
Morning Yoga - Women’s performance apparel brand Athleta will host morning yoga sessions, including a special “Mom & Me” class and a traditional vinyasa flow class, and as an added bonus, attendees will receive a complimentary Manduka Yoga Mat takeaway. Post-yoga, attendees are invited to finish their holiday shopping with Athleta’s Holiday Collection, as well as picking up a personalized card of gratitude for themselves or loved ones from calligraphist Love, Jenna.
