On Sunday, Dec. 4, downtown Clinton welcomes all to a wonderland of Christmas-themed activities, music, open houses, contests, and more for the 21st annual Christmas in Clinton organized by the Clinton Chamber of Commerce.

The day offers a mix of activities for kids and adults, as well as lots of food options. In addition to local restaurants and visiting food trucks, visitors can also participate in the annual Soup’s On competition hosted by Body Karma Studio to benefit Families Helping Families. A $5 bracelet allows participants to taste each competing soup; to vote for a favorite, drop the bracelet into a bucket for the best soup.
