Celebrating Holiday Cheer at Cook Children's

Happy Holidays! With the holidays just around the corner, Cook Children's patients were visited by many special guests sharing some festive moments these past few weeks. Our patients and families have loved getting to see their friends at the Dallas Cowboys, Fort Worth Police Officers Association and more!

Earlier this month, our patient art show kicked off our holiday celebrations! Each December, our festive patient art is displayed in the Atrium of Cook Children’s Medical Center – Fort Worth. Santa joined us this year to visit with families and paint alongside patients. It was a creative and cheerful afternoon with Santa! 

Mrs. Claus stopped by our Child Life Zone to show our patients and families how the elves make ornaments and decorate cookies in the North Pole! Everyone had a fun morning and went home with their very own copy of The Sugar Plum Bakers: A Tale of 12 Holiday Treats. 

All aboard! The Polar Express made a special stop at Cook Children’s Medical Center – Fort Worth this morning to take patients and their families on a train ride to the North Pole! Everyone got to meet the Polar Express Conductor, sip on hot chocolate, create holiday crafts, pick out their own pair of pajamas to keep and make magical memories. 

Holiday cheer decked the halls of the medical center during our festive sing-a-long concert!

Ace Hardware delivered Christmas trees and holiday magic to Cook Children’s! Each patient was thrilled to create a tree of their own and decorate cookies. 

The Grinch stopped by Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth. He brought lots of jokes, joy and holiday jolly. Our hearts grew three sizes! 

Santa Claus made a visit up north to Cook Children's Medical Center -- Prosper on Friday! Patients and families enjoyed creating holiday arts and crafts and visiting with Santa. Santa and Mrs. Claus made time out of their busy schedules to sit and listen with each patient, who shared what they're looking forward to this holiday season.
