Operation Holiday Magic
What is Operation Holiday Magic?
Operation Holiday Magic is our way of spreading joy and creating opportunities for kids in our community. This holiday season, we’re gifting cooking class experiences to kids ages 7–17 who might not otherwise have the chance to experience the magic of cooking. Together, we can inspire confidence, create lasting memories, and make this season truly special.
​
How It Works
We’re offering six free spots in our cooking classes:
-
3 spots in our Kids Culinary Cooking Club (ages 7–12)
-
3 spots in our Teen Culinary Masters classes (ages 13–17)
​
These hands-on classes are designed to teach practical cooking skills, spark creativity, and help kids discover the joy of creating something delicious. It’s more than just a class, it’s an experience that builds confidence, connection and lifelong skills.
​​
Who Can Be Nominated?
We’re looking for kids who would love to join our cooking classes but might not have the opportunity to attend otherwise. Whether it’s a child in your family, a neighbor, or someone you know through your community, we’d love your help in finding young chefs who are excited to learn and grow in the kitchen.
​​
Because we can only gift a limited number of spots, we kindly ask that nominations be reserved for children whose families are experiencing financial challenges this holiday season. This helps us ensure these special opportunities go to kids who will truly benefit from them.
​​
By nominating a child, you’re helping us share the joy of cooking with kids who will treasure this experience. Thank you for being part of this mission to make the holidays brighter for every child.
