Nutcracker Tea · December 6, 2026

from $65.00

The Society convenes for Christmas on Sunday, December 6, 2026.

Nutcracker Tea arrives with the Upper Lodge already dressed for the season, and we dress it again on top of that. Three tiers of savories, scones, and sweets made from scratch by our Executive Chef, with a winter menu held back since October. Loose-leaf tea poured tableside. Burgundy and gold the length of every table.

This is the chapter to bring your mother and your daughter.

Doors open at 1:45 PM, and at 1:30 PM for members. Service begins at 2:00 PM. The afternoon concludes at 4:00 PM. The Upper Lodge at Hideaway Lake Club.

All dressed up and somewhere to go. For Nutcracker, think Christmas finery: velvet, tartan, deep red, and whatever sparkles.

Society Seat

The afternoon properly kept.

A seat at Society is two hours set apart, choreographed in a room dressed for the chapter. Chef-crafted savories, scones, and sweets are presented on three tiers of vintage china. Loose-leaf tea is poured tableside. Premium coffee is offered for those who prefer it.

Each chapter has its own world. Parisian Romance in February. A Mother's Day Tea in May. The room transforms; the tradition holds.

Society Sparkler

The Society Seat, with a little sparkle.

The Sparkler is everything in the Society Seat, plus our signature sparkling service. A seasonal Society Sparkling pour, non-alcoholic and made in-house with hand-pressed citrus and garden garnishes, is poured for you on arrival and refreshed at your table throughout the afternoon.

Prefer something with bubbles of the other kind? Bring your own bottle, or arrange privately with our sommelier. Either way, it's served in the same glass, with the same ceremony.

Society Velvet

Velvet is our most considered welcome.

A red carpet runs through the center of the room to a small cluster of tables roped in burgundy velvet and brass. Your name awaits you at your place, a welcome flute already poured.

Service unfolds as it does for the room, three tiers and loose-leaf tea and sparkling throughout, but the choreography around you is its own. A take-home gift, made for Velvet guests only, leaves with you at the close.

Twelve Velvet seats per chapter. Reserved by name.
