The Student Program Board is presenting the fifth annual Winter Wonderland today from noon to 4 p.m. at Lynn Eusan Park for students to enjoy a short break from studying to get into the holiday spirit.
The park will be covered in 120,000 pounds of snow, and students can participate in a snowman-building competition and have snowball fights.
Organizations will also host their own games and prizes, while funnel cakes and hot chocolate will be served to help students stay warm.
“It’s a tradition that is unique to the University,” said Aziz Rajan, social media and communications chair of SPB. “With Houston lacking in snow, it makes for a wonderful event that the student body loves.”
Other activities include photo snow globes, gingerbread house decorating and more.
“The most popular activity is the snow because it usually … brings in the students, and usually a snowball fight breaks out,” Rajan said. “We hope this event brings holiday cheer and a form of relief from finals.”
