Season’s Screenings: New Hot Chocolate and a Holiday Lineup with your Favorite Classics
Settle in for a season of cozy treats and classic holiday screenings at the Burns. We now serve Gourmet Hot Chocolate at Take 3 Wine Bar & Café! Delicious and cozy, steamed milk hot chocolate with fresh, house made whipped cream, topped with chocolate shavings. Savor it in our Wine Bar & Cafe or bring it inside our theaters in a disposable cup to savor during your film. Here’s everything festive coming up this December:
