Cozy Penguin — Paint & Sip Guided Painting Event in Rocklin, CA | Painting & Vino

About this event

Looking for a holiday night out in Rocklin that is creative, relaxed and genuinely fun? Join Painting & Vino for Cozy Penguin, a guided Paint & Sip painting event on Saturday, December 12, 2026, at Cross Roads Pizza and Pub in Rocklin.

You will paint Cozy Penguin — a sweet penguin with closed, contented eyes and a little grey beak, bundled up in an oversized red sweater with a thick ribbed collar and white wavy stripes, hearts and stars, standing on soft white snow against a dreamy pink background. It is an adorable Christmas painting with bold colors and simple shapes, which makes it perfect for first-time painters and a fun challenge for anyone who paints often.

No experience is needed. A step-by-step instructor leads the whole painting from the first brushstroke to the final detail, so you can relax, follow along at your own pace, and leave with a finished canvas you will actually want to hang up for the holidays. Every supply you need is included — just bring yourself and your holiday spirit.

Cozy Penguin is a great pick for a Rocklin date night, a friends’ night out, a work holiday get-together, or a festive night to yourself. Seats are limited by the venue, so book early to save your spot at the easel.

Please note: Drinks are available at the venue and are not included in the ticket.
