Bringing Holiday Cheer to Those Who Serve

Being away from family, friends, and traditions during the holidays is never easy. That’s why the USO is dedicated to making these moments a little brighter for service members and their families through special events that bring joy, connection, and a sense of home—no matter where they are stationed.

From Halloween celebrations designed for military kids to Valentine’s Day dinners and dances, there’s something for everyone—big kids included! The USO even hosts a Military Kids Ball, giving young ones a chance to feel celebrated and connected to their unique community. And as winter rolls in, Winter Fest brings the magic of the season to life with festive activities and warm gatherings.

Of course, as the year winds down, Thanksgiving marks the start of the holiday season—and the time when those far from home feel its absence the most. Recognizing this, USO centers worldwide go the extra mile to ensure that service members and military families experience the warmth and comfort of the holidays, no matter where they are.

Because no one should feel alone during the most special times of the year. ❤️🎄🦃
