Arlington, VA – Buzzy Spelling Bee @ Punch Bowl Social

🐝 Buzzy Bee: Holly Jolly & Misspelled 🎄

Overview

It’s the most wonderfully chaotic time of the year! 🎁

Join Ya’Sean A. Alexander for a night where Christmas magic meets tipsy spelling mayhem. Think hot cocoa giggles, jingling nerves, and contestants who are absolutely blaming their mistakes on “holiday excitement.”

It’s cozy, it’s cute, and it’s just messy enough to feel like a true December tradition.

🎟️ $10 Contestant Ticket: Compete for prizes, glory, AND one free drink (beer, wine, or well). Limited to 21 contestants!

What’s jingling this round:

🎁 Round 1: “Merry & Bright” (Team Play)

Sweet and simple holiday words to warm everyone up — ornaments, gingerbread, twinkle lights… and maybe a surprise or two.

🍸 Round 2: “Naughty or Nice” (Head-to-Head)

Cute-but-chaotic holiday words with a playful twist. Whether your energy is Elf or Grinch, you’re spelling your heart out.

❄️ Round 3: “Sleigh Bell Showdown” (Finale)

Big, bold, holly-jolly words that sparkle, confuse, and absolutely humble. Christmas magic required.
