The Little Christmas Bakery is back!
Flour on their hands, the scent of fresh cookies, and lots of Christmas excitement: At the “ Krone ,” little hands are baking again. Even 10 years ago, children’s afternoons were a regular part of life at the “ Krone.” We’re picking up where we left off in 2026: with more time for each other, for the joy of doing things ourselves, and for experiences that will stay with us forever.
Perhaps some parents still remember their own afternoons here with us. Now it’s the turn of the next generation of little baking talents.
CHILDREN'S BAKING WORKSHOP

Saturday, December 19, 2026
Time: 2 :00–5:00 p.m.
Location: Restaurant, Hotel Krone Thun
Age: 6–12 years
Cost per child: CHF 36.00

SMALL HANDS, BIG JOY OF BAKING
Together with Nadine and Karin, the little Christmas bakers get to:
- Make your own Grittibänze
- Cutting out cookies
- Decorate gingerbread however you like
- enjoy a cozy Christmas snack
- take their homemade treats home with them
The children bake without their parents or guardians and are supervised by Nadine and Karin. Meanwhile, the adults can relax with a cup of coffee in our restaurant or take a stroll through Thun’s festive old town.
At 4:45 p.m., everyone gathers again for the joint diploma ceremony—and then the little baking pros proudly present their masterpieces.
OUR CHRISTMAS BAKERS
Nadine and Karin are looking forward to welcoming curious children and spending a cheerful afternoon at the Christmas bakery. Together, they’ll get creative, bake, and make the Advent season just a little bit sweeter.
NADINE
As a chef, Nadine finds joy in making things herself every day. In our Christmas baking workshop, she shows the little baking pros how to turn dough into Grittibänze and delicious cookies. Trying things out together, being creative, and taking pride in their own baked goods—she makes time for all of that.
KARIN
At the front desk, Karin welcomes our guests—and in the Christmas bakery, she welcomes our young, up-and-coming talents. She spends the afternoon with the children, helping them with their crafts and, together with Nadine, making sure everyone feels at home. And at the certificate ceremony, she shares in the children’s joy over the treats they’ve made themselves.
Booking Terms and Conditions - Photography During the Event
During the event, we may take atmospheric and detailed photos, such as shots of hands at work while baking and the homemade treats. These images may be used on our website and social media channels. We will ensure that no children are recognizable in the photos.
"I have fond memories of the children's afternoons from back in the day: little hands full of dough and the pride of making something ourselves. I'm looking forward to reviving this tradition and creating new memories with the children."
