Put your pinky up, find your fanciest frock, and turn your sleigh in the delightful direction of San Marino, the longtime home of Julienne Fine Foods and Celebrations.

It's teatime at the warm-hearted, elegantly attired space, as it often is, but there's something special brewing on Sunday, Dec. 10.

It's a Perfect Holiday Tea Party, featuring a traditional yet twinkly tea service that draws uplifting inspiration from a certain icon of children's entertainment.

We are, of course, talking about Strawberry Shortcake, that chapeau-wearing superstar, the happy heroin with a knack for nummy baked goods.

That's something that Julienne has long been known for, too, and guests at the sweet-of-heart tea will enjoy miniature cakes, swirl cookies, and sandwiches, too.

A strawberry-ish boutique is popping up at the pretty restaurant and marketplace while Strawberry Shortcake herself will stop by to meet her fans. The festive gathering is inspired by the new Netflix special "Strawberry Shortcake's Perfect Holiday."
