MMHP2025

Mistletoe Magic Holiday Party

Saturday was a monumental day as it was the first-ever Mistletoe Magic Holiday Party, or #MMHP2025, an event spearheaded by our wonderful leaders, Truman and Gator! It was a festive day-long party on Twitter filled with stalls, gifts, noms and drinks, and of course, DJs and music!

Festivities kicked off at 7:00 am, with DJ Lola from PAWS with her Christmas playlist.

FurryTails was there with delicious funnel cakes and hot chocolate! Truman had his world-famous pub quizzes, TJ and Bart debuted what would become their also world-famous pub quizzes, and NipClub was selling their wreaths and Christmas trees!

So many groups took part! The DangerDawgs had their booth selling their delicious eggnog! ECC had its booth, and Puddin and Murphy brought out their amazing Pop-Up Diner, where they sold Christmas noms and drinks! I was also present to assist!

Undoubtedly, one high point involved a live presentation of #OTLFP. Pixie Tooth and Millie rocked it as always!

NPC also had their wonderful club dragon Doug out for dragon rides around the complex, and they had their noms and drinks as well!

The #MMHP2025 debut proved remarkable, and started something special that everyone can expect each December! What Truman and Gator have started will now become a staple every holiday season!
