A passport will guide visitors to a variety of local Mustang businesses where they can get a stamp and a cookie while perusing a panoply of perfect presents. Not only will guests leave with a Cookie Carrier full of treats, but they can turn them in at the December 5 tree-lighting ceremony at Mustang Town Center for a chance to win prizes from local merchants. December 1-5. Tickets, $10. mustangchamber.com/mistletoe-magic

When a bee stings, it's unpleasant for the sting-ee, but deadly for the sting-er, who leaves about half their body behind in the exchange. What could be worth such a terrible fate?

Take a tour of the Ross Honey Plant to see where the sweet syrup meets the bottle, taste honey-sweetened desserts, and watch those sugar-powered kids take part in a tractor pull. December 3. Admission, free. minco-ok.com
