Butter Aerobics Holiday Jam

Give the gift of freshly churned butter this holiday season thanks to the deliciously melted minds at CARS, Machine Project and PopSoda. Musicians Jimmy Fusil and Mike Wait lead an '80s-themed fitness class on the west end of the Santa Monica Pier where you'll learn and churn the basics of making butter. The cream is free, but you'll have to bring your own jar or pay $5. Come out early, as the classes are limited to 150 spots, and hang out after to hit up a few buttery vendors, including Peddler's Creamery, one of our picks for the best of 2013.
