i mean, who wouldn't wanna walk through a 22ft illuminated tree and sip on hot cocoa infused with amaretto?!? 
it's like they're trying to make us all feel like kids again! 
and the entrance with 8 towering christmas trees is straight fire 
gotta get some squad pics in front of that! 
but what i'm most stoked about is how inclusive they are - families, furry friends, everyone's welcome! 
so mark those calendars for dec 7th for lunch with santa and dec 31st for the nearly new year's countdown... trust me, walnut wonderland won't disappoint! 
. What's not to love about a place where you can get merry with your furry friends and pay-as-you-go treats? Sounds like the ultimate holiday spot for me and my squad 
. Can't wait to ring in the New Year at this sparkly wonderland, almost as excited as I am for the countdown party 
!
They're doing it bigger and better than ever with that massive 22-foot tree and heated tent? Genius! And can we talk about the drinks? Maple whiskey sours and spiced sangria? Yaaas, please! 
I'm gonna take my little one to Lunch with Santa on Dec 7th, she's gonna love it! 
️ But, like, isn't this place still super new? I feel like I just read about it last year... 
The twinkling lights and giant illuminated tree are giving me major festive feels 
And, yay for pay-as-you-go treats and drinks - it's a total win-win for all the folks on a budget 
Can't wait to grab my squad and snap some fire pics with the 8 towering Christmas trees 
The Lunch with Santa event is a total must-try, faves! 
also can't wait to snap some pics in front of those towering christmas trees 
and I gotta say it's giving me major feels. The whole area is just so beautifully decorated and the twinkling lights are insane 
. But what really gets me is that they're making this place accessible to everyone, regardless of income - you can get treats and drinks pay-as-you-go, which is amazing 
. It's like a breath of fresh air in the midst of all the consumerism we see during the holidays. Can't wait for the "Nearly New Year's" countdown on Dec 31st 
. Think about it, we've got people shelling out big bucks to walk through some lit-up trees and drink overpriced hot cocoa 
. And what's with the Instagram-worthy entrance? It's just a bunch of tacky lights and fake Christmas trees 
. And don't even get me started on the " Nearly New Year's" Countdown... just a fancy excuse for overcrowding and overcharging 
. Mark my words, it'll be closed by January 2nd 
. Plus, it's so great that they're doing Lunch with Santa - my little one is literally counting down the days until that event! The drinks and treats menu sounds amazing too... maple whiskey sours? Amaretto hot cocoa? Yes please! 
. Not sure if they'll really fill the street with all those lights, but I guess it's still a fun spot to take some pics and enjoy the holiday vibes 
. plus, who needs to pay-as-you-go when u can just bring ur own hot cocoa mix 
? also, 22ft illuminated tree sounds like just a giant decoration 
... not exactly gonna make my holiday season 
gotta make sure to get my fam & furry friend there too 
i'm literally low-key judging philly's holiday game right now who needs NYC when u can get this much festivity in rittenhouse? 
!! I went last night with my squad and it was literally the most magical spot in Philly 
, and the heated tent is perfect for sippin on some hot cocoa 
️. I love that they have pay-as-you-go treats and drinks, too - no need to break the bank on holiday cheer! 
. And can we talk about how adorable the intro paragraph is? It's like a holiday storybook come to life
