2025 Christmas Shows

On December 10 and 16, 2025, Children Now held its annual Christmas Shows at the Renaissance Centre de Congrès et Banquets in Montreal and at the Hilton Hotel in Quebec City. 750 children from underprivileged backgrounds in Montreal, Quebec City, and Trois-Rivières were invited to take part in the beautiful celebration.

From the moment they arrived, the children stepped into a Christmas wonderland. The grand banquet halls were filled with decorations, while more than 50 mascots, elves, and the Star Fairy brought the celebration to life.

Soon after, Santa made his grand entrance, pulled by his nine reindeer — a magical moment that filled the children with excitement. The day continued with lively performances by Loisir Populaire, along with dancing, arts and crafts workshops, and a festive Christmas buffet. Of course, to conclude the day, Santa and his helpers distributed Christmas gifts to each child.

For many of these children, this day meant far more than a celebration. It was a day filled with awe, hope, and wonder — one that they will cherish for years to come.

Children Now would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone who participated in making these events a wonderful success — from our donors and sponsors, to the volunteers who wrapped gifts, to the teams from Saputo, Intact Insurance, and many other partner companies who generously gave their time. We are also deeply grateful to the incredible animators from Loisir Populaire, the makeup artists from Kromatik, the decorators at SophistOccasion, and the many volunteer elves who brought this magical day to life.

Finally, we would like to extend a very special thank you to the Renaissance Centre de Congrès et Banquets and the Hilton Hotel for welcoming us into their magnificent reception halls and partnering with us to make these celebrations possible.

We invite you to view the videos and photos of the events below.
