UNION – There is going to be a Frozen Sing-a-Long at Kean University’s STEM Building Auditorium, which, on Saturday, Dec. 10, will be transformed into the icy kingdom of Arendelle. There will also be a winter wonderland of fun activities in between the two screenings, which will take place at 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Tickets are $5 per person.

Children are invited to dress in character and follow along to words on the screen as they sing along to Disney’s hit animated movie. "Frozen" tells the story of Princess Anna, as she sets off on a journey with rugged mountain man Kristoff, his trusty reindeer Sven, and a snowman named Olaf. The group is determined to find Anna’s sister, Queen Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter.

The 2013 movie spawned Idina Menzel’s smash hit single "Let It Go,: and many other kid-friendly songs.

The atrium at the entrance to the auditorium will be turned into everything Frozen. Costumed characters of Anna and Elsa will be on hand for a meet and greet and photo opportunities. A face painter will transform little ones into their favorite Frozen characters, and there will be a Frozen coloring station and a place to make a magic color scratch snowflake. Kids can also pose with Frozen props in a photo area, and enjoy cookies, pastries and warm drinks at the hot chocolate bar.
