The holidays are a special time, filled with magic for kids, and for children with cancer, it's no different! The holidays are an even more special, and sometimes bittersweet, time for families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis. Holidays may be spent in the hospital, away from home, without siblings, and without all the traditions the holiday magic can bring. Sadly, for some families battling childhood cancer, it may be the last holiday that a holiday memory can be made with the entire family present. That’s why Children’s Cancer Partners of the Carolinas puts on the Holiday Spectacular!

Our 2025 Holiday Spectacular took place on December 7, 2025, in Durham, North Carolina. All families that Children's Cancer Partners serves were invited for an afternoon of fun, food, games, activities, and holiday magic!
