Best of Coffeehouse

Hello fellow Liberty students! I hope you have all had a great semester! We made it through those first few weeks, rested during Fall Break, and now that Halloween has just passed, we can move on to the best holiday of all – Christmas!! I know this is a controversial topic, but I believe that Christmas should be celebrated for as long as possible, so I am more than happy to bust out the Christmas sweaters, make some gingerbread man cookies, and crank up the Christmas songs on November 1^st. Don’t get me wrong – I love Thanksgiving too. But nothing beats the magic and joy of Christmastime.

Luckily for me, I have gotten to participate in many Christmas-themed activities since September because we at Student Activities have been working hard on our biggest event of the semester – Christmas Coffeehouse! We realize that many of you may not really know what Coffeehouse is as we have not been able to host a full Coffeehouse shows since 2019 due to Covid. But, have no fear, we are back to our regularly scheduled Coffeehouses featuring several student bands, lots of lights, 8,000 attendees, and of course, plenty of Christmas magic!

Coffeehouse is a long-standing Liberty Tradition. Student Activities finds the best of on campus artists and bands and puts on a huge variety show featuring fellow students. Coffeehouse happens at the end of every semester, boasting 8,000 attendees every year. This is the perfect time to take a break from studying for finals and enjoy some great entertainment with your friends!

To give you a taste of what Coffeehouse is all about, we wanted to present to you some of our favorite past Christmas performances. In 2019, Jingle Thomas & the Bell Bottoms performed “Wonderful Christmastime” at Coffeehouse. The song started low and smooth, with just the lead singer and keys playing the first chorus. But, you can’t have a wonderful Christmastime with all your friends without a little excitement – so they kicked it up a notch and suddenly the whole 5-piece band, with heads adorned with Santa hats of course, chimed in. What they delivered was a fun, high energy, unforgettable number. They had the whole room dancing and singing along. And they ended with a high note (literally) that left the audience on their feet.

This is what Coffeehouse is all about! Having a Wonderful Christmastime with those you love, laughing and dancing. We hope that you will join us on December 4^th for Christmas Coffeehouse to hear bands just like this one!
