A warm, informal and convivial atmosphere marked XMAS BAITAANT, AANT’s Christmas celebration held on Thursday, December 18, which transformed the Aula Magna into a cosy winter lodge.
Heavy sweaters, furry hats and “baita mood” details set the scene for an evening designed to bring people together, have fun and share the spirit of the holiday season. Mini-games and team challenges engaged students, faculty and staff in a light-hearted and participatory atmosphere, with a single goal: enjoying a pre-Christmas moment of togetherness.
The food van helped keep everyone warm, offering hot dogs, bretzel and beer, while the traditional holiday classics were not to be missed for the toast: panettone, pandoro and sparkling wine. There was also room for surprise with the gift exchange: everyone brought a present, entrusted to chance through a shared bag, turning the gesture into a moment of collective curiosity and fun.
XMAS BAITAANT thus confirmed itself not only as an end-of-year event, but as an opportunity for connection and shared experience—a different way to exchange greetings before the holidays, in true AANT style.
