Christmas-related.

Family Events Only Jingkids
Although
many groups combine events and advice, this group is run by our founder
Mike Wester, and sticks strictly to events that kids can attend. This
way you don’t have to comb through event posters and decipher via Google
Translate if that tea tasting requires a babysitter or if you can take
the kids.

Beijing Dads Group
Don’t forget
the Dads! Although all parents are welcome into most of these groups, it
must be nice to have a spot where Dads can let loose. From what I hear,
it’s a lot of memes but also quite good discussions and help when
needed.

Third Culture Kids Parenting
Raising
a mixed-culture kid is no easy task. Here you’ll find other parents in
the same boat as you where you can share your experiences and ask for
advice.

The Beijinger Foodies Group
This
one is all about Beijing’s food-related chatter. The admin has an
anti-spamming policy so you won’t be bombarded with tons of repetitive
ads from the same restaurant day after day.
To join: Add TBJHelper on WeChat
FamFriendlyEats
This one is
specifically for foodie parents. As we know, not all family-friendly
restaurants are suitable for kids of every age so this group is where
you can ask for recommendations based on your unique family make-up.
Like with other WeChat groups, the rules are simple – be respectful of
others’ opinions and don’t spam the group.

Sweet Cravings
There are multiple
Sweet Cravings groups by now. Camilla started it as a way for local
bakers to share their goods with Beijing’s dessert-loving community.
There are daily posts of cakes, cookies, brownies, baklava, and
basically anything your sweet tooth is craving. What makes this group
different than a visit to your local bakery is that you’re able to ask
questions, and find less common desserts that might be hard to come by
like chiffon pandan cakes!

Moving Abroad
This group is created to help people who are planning to move abroad. You can ask questions related to moving, and you will be able to get an answer to your questions directly from the experienced group members and the Pason Global Moving team members, who have over 17 years of quality international moving experience.
Steaks Promotion
Trader Joe has
weekly deals for carnivores. Each week he sends the group a package
promotion, including a combo of popular cuts, and even some free cheese,
olive oil, and seasoning now and again. I order from Trader Joe’s all
the time. The steaks arrive still frozen the very next day via SF
Express. This week’s latest promotion is five 200g black Angus grain-fed
Sirloin plus 1kg grass-fed French lamb, five 150g corn-fed beef
patties, and a free bottle of Spanish olive oil all for RMB 499. Time to
get your beef on!

Morgan’s Cheese and Wine Group
The
name pretty much says it all: This is a group for wine and cheese
lovers. Yusan shares wine and cheese deals with tasting notes throughout
the week. Recently, they began adding cold cuts to their group as well.
The latest promotion is for nine pieces of cheese including three 125g
Camembert, one 125g brie, two 100g Danish Blue, one 150g Spanish goat
cheese, and two 150g Manchego for RMB 376.20.

the name! If you love drinking wine, then this group is for you.
