The Gay Lea Shortbread Village Pop-Up Was Held at the Well
The Gay Lea Shortbread Village pop-up at The Well in Toronto offered a festive and interactive experience that combined the joy of the holiday season with creative expression and community support. The event ran from December 5 to December 22. It invited attendees to explore a miniature shortbread village, complete with frosting and sugary decorations. The pop-up also included cookie decorating activities, where visitors could make and take home their own sweet creations.
What set the Gay Lea Shortbread Village pop-up apart was its dual focus on family-friendly entertainment and charitable giving. The brand partnered with Habitat for Humanity Canada and donated one dollar for every social share made with the hashtag #GayLeaShareJoy. The goal was to raise $10,000 CAD to support affordable housing initiatives.
