(Seasonal / fund-raiser) This annual benefit dresses up Variety’s 77-acre campus, from the 18th-century farmhouse to rustic cabins. Every tour — driving only on Wednesday, walking Thursday through Saturday — starts with complimentary cocoa. From Thursday on, programming includes local choirs, a bonfire, story time, Irish dancing, a barbershop quartet, Santa, and snacks available to purchase. All ages. (Driving on Nov. 30, 5-7 p.m.: $10 car, $20 van; walking on Dec. 1-2, 4-8 p.m. and Dec. 3, 4-9 p.m., $10 adult, $5 child, 2950 Potshop Rd., Worcester, varietyphila.org)

(Market / seasonal / free) There are 45 local artisan-makers selling their wares in this indoor-outdoor market, along with live brass and swing bands, and food trucks. But what you really need to know about Christkindlmarkt: There’s a s’mores roasting station on Friday. Ages 4+ (Free, Dec. 2, 4-8 p.m., Dec. 3, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., 100 N. Bradford Ave., West Chester, chestercountyarts.org)

(Theater) If you have kids under 7, you know Bluey is the hottest ticket in town. The BBC cartoon phenom stars a family of dogs whose daily dilemmas closely resemble those of families with young children — only they have clever-er ways of finding solutions. This particular tale is set on a Sunday, when giant puppet versions of Bluey and Bingo want to play and Dad wants to rest. Relatable. Ages 3-7. ($29-$81, Dec. 2, 6 p.m. Dec. 3, 10:30 a.m., 1 & 3 p.m., 250 S. Broad St., kimmelculturalcampus.org)

(Seasonal / free) The Puerto Rican cultural center — and surrounding neighborhood — hosts its first-ever Christmas Village, a spread of holiday vendors, crafts to make, and treats to eat, with music by Los Bomberos de la Calle. Decorated casitas (“little houses”) throughout are inspired by the jíbaro of the Puerto Rican countryside. All ages. (Free, Dec. 3, 4-8 p.m., 2600 N. 5th St., tallerpr.org)

(Music / free) The Kimmel’s next Family Funday combines reading, writing, jazz, and history, with the multitalented Andy Blackman Hurwitz. Ages 2-7. (Free, Dec. 3, 10 a.m.-noon, kimmelculturalcampus.org)

(Seasonal) Cupcakes, crafts, and fairy costumes are on the to-do list during an hour-long DIY session at Doylestown’s most fabulously frilly makers’ space for kiddos. Artist-owner Robin Donna oversees the whole shebang. Chances are, you won’t leave before booking your next birthday party here. Registration required. Ages 2-12. ($45, Dec. 3, 11 a.m.-noon & 2-3 p.m, 64 S. Main St., Doylestown, fabbydo.com)
