Wareham Crossing is hosting a Winter Wonderland party on Dec. 18 from 2 to 4 p.m., and participating stores will provide free family-friendly activities.

Among the events, Cool 102 radio will be on-site and giving away prizes. Elements will be offering free massages. Target and Cosi will offer free hot chocolate and coffee and host activities for children. Frosty will be handing out free samples at Friendly's Express, and children can pick up a red nose from Rudolph at TJMAXX.

Children can write letters to Santa at Best Buy, and e-mail the jolly old elf and paint a holiday ornament at AT&T. Or, visit the Lowe's Enchanted Village from 4 to 6 p.m., and meet Santa in person!

Plus, look for the stilt-walker and balloon artist on-site, hear some holiday tunes by the Victorian Carolers, and take a ride on a horse-drawn wagon.

In addition to the activities, participating stores will accept new, unwrapped toys to be donated to the Dick Melloni Youth Foundation.
