“Christmas In The Kitchen,” is a memorable live music holiday experience that raises money and collects toys for Annie Malones and Join Hands ESL.

Loads of Christmas spirit here! It’s a true kitchen party, like back in Mitzi’s homeland of Nova Scotia, with live Celtic music from her family band, Keltic Reign, guest singers and musicians, and dancing in the kitchen!

It’s a show like no other; where you and your family are invited on stage for a cup of tea and homemade cookies. You will be graciously served at Mitzi’s kitchen table while the band and their musical guests entertain you! 

This is the show’s 19th year at the Sheldon, and all proceeds benefit Annie Malone’s Children and Family services and Join Hands ESL.  

Additionally, this year, we have expanded the outreach of our fundraising efforts to include, at a secondary level, The Leadership School.  They are Saint Louis County’s first free public charter school, opened in fall 2022.  

 Please come early to the show, grab a seat and attend our auction! 

6pm silent auction begins, with live music and cash bar. 

Please bring an unwrapped toy or teen gift  (child’s admission free with gift donation)  We also collect non-perishable food items and toiletries, and winter coats and footwear.  Children through adult sizes.    

Our motto – “Come with your hands full and leave with a full heart!” 

It’s a great feeling knowing we can make a difference, and we welcome you to be a part of that.
