MUST GO The Bishop’s School is celebrating the holidays with a festive tradition on Nov. 29 to ring in the season on campus. The school’s 23rd annual Christmas Tea party — themed “Joy to the World” — includes a concert performance by Bishop’s singers, a spread of internationally inspired holiday tea accompaniments by talented parent chefs and Bishop’s food service director Sara Sweet, and honored tea pourers, including head of school Aimeclaire Roche. The tea will take place from 1:30 to 4 p.m. amid the twinkling lights of ornament-adorned Christmas trees and touches of garland and décor from cultures around the world in the school’s magnificent Ellen Browning Scripps Hall.

MUST TASTE Sprinkles Cupcakes is partnering with Energy 103.7 for its annual toy drive, “AJ’s Kids Crane,” to help bring out the sweet side of the holiday season. Until Dec. 14, Sprinkles La Jolla will give a free cupcake of your choice to those who donate a new, unwrapped toy at their location at 8855 Villa La Jolla Drive. All toys collected will be donated to children at Rady Children’s Hospital just in time for Christmas. Another way Sprinkles is giving back is through a nationwide fundraising effort to prevent pediatric HIV infection and eradicate pediatric AIDS in support of World AIDS Day on Dec. 1. For one day only, Sprinkles Cupcakes across the nation will donate proceeds from its Red Ribbon Cupcakes to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, a research, advocacy, prevention and treatment nonprofit.
