Best Christmas Experiences in Central Ohio: Make Time For THIS Studio!

For many, the Christmas season brings not just cheer, but a heavy dose of stress. (Yep, we see you nodding.) Battling crowded stores, scrolling through endless generic gift options online, and feeling the pressure to make every moment magical, often without finding the time to truly enjoy the season. Sound familiar?

We have an antidote, and it comes in three words: Make Time Studio.

Make Time Studio is a creative workshop space that specializes in custom candle pouring at their signature Candle Bar and hosts a variety of engaging, hands-on craft workshops. These include cookie decorating, stained glass, and seasonal projects.

Make Time Studio is also a go-to spot for paint parties and private celebrations. Guided paint sessions offer a fun, relaxed way for groups to create together. These areideal for birthdays, friend gatherings, and family nights out. With an instructor leading step-by-step, everyone leaves with a keepsake and a shared memory.

This year, you’re invited to trade the high-stress hustle for a visit to the warm, scented, and utterly cheerful world of Make Time Studio. The studio is transforming Christmas shopping from a chore into a joy, and holiday planning from frantic to festive.

Getting the RIGHT Gift

Experience gifts are the best kind, no returns, no wrong sizes, and all the good feels. They turn moments into memories and give people something to do, not just something to own.

The Candle Bar: Where Personalization is Poured

The custom Candle Bar offers an experience far beyond typical retail therapy. You can become an artisan of sorts, designing and pouring a totally personalized product that creates a wonderful memory or perfectly suits the recipient’s style.

  • Create New Scents: Create the perfect holiday fragrance, like maybe some nostalgic combination like “Grandma’s Kitchen” or a custom blend for the Winter Solstice. They’ll light it, feel good, and think of you.
  • The Experience Itself: The time spent creating a candle is often considered the gift. Friends, couples, and family members can book a session together, leaving with a beautiful, personalized product … and a cherished memory to boot!
  • Thoughtful Details: You have the perfect opportunity here for a personalized message … or even an inside joke. Who doesn’t want to kickstart chuckles for years?

  • Cookie Decorating: The team provides freshly baked cookies, beautiful icing, and a festive atmosphere. Just show up and leave with magazine-worthy treats and zero cleanup. This activity is perfect for families, friends, or a memorable date night.
  • Holiday-Themed Crafts: Specialized classes, such as the Christmas Candle Workshop or winter-themed Stained Glass projects, let you create beautiful holiday decor or gifts in a relaxed, guided environment. No experience required, no worries there.

These sessions go beyond a simple class; they are opportunities for laughter, shared creation, and building memories that will be recalled and treasured for a long, long time.

But wait, there’s more …
