The 5th Annual Naughty or Nice Cocktails & Cookies Crawl will run three Saturdays in December in South Bethlehem, offering you the chance to sample holiday cocktails paired with a Christmas cookie. The event is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Southside Arts District and is the district’s signature holiday event.

Here’s how it will work:

What, when, where

The event runs 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 4, 11 and 18 at participat­ing South Bethlehem sites (which can differ depending on the Saturday you go).
