2018 Ultimate Showdown Naughty v Nice Ponce City Market

The Yard at Ponce City Market will be home to one of the biggest holiday brouhahas Atlanta has ever seen. It’s The Ultimate Showdown of Naughty vs. Nice, with the green, mean, anything-but-clean Grinch and his punishing posse in one corner of the boxing ring and Santa Claws and his jolly crew in the other! Come one, come all and pick a side – TEAM NAUGHTY with Ginger Shred Man, The Iceman and The Nutcracker, or TEAM NICE with Wreath the Reaper, Peppermint Prince and Rowdy Rudy Rudolph. Claim a ringside spot to witness a lighthearted wrestling match for the ages that begins at 11am. The Ultimate Showdown is free to all, and guests are welcome to come early for face-painting, poster-making, temporary tattoos and more family fun starting at 10:30am. Following the wrestling match, Santa and the Grinch will take up residence at Ponce City Market, and guests are invited to bring their cameras for photos with Santa and the Grinch from 1-6pm. Santa will reside in the King of Pops Tree Elves Holiday Forest all season long, and the Grinch will be in his lair on the second floor above the Central Food Hall. Guests can sign up for photos with Santa and the Grinch once onsite and will receive a text notification 15 minutes before their photo time.
