The children embarked on a 45-minute flight filled with holiday cheer, complete with festive streamers, holiday tunes, and excited chants of 'bubbles' as flight staff paraded a bubble machine down the aisle. Upon landing, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and a collection of elves welcomed the kids at a transformed hangar.

The tradition, celebrating over 30 years, extended to 13 cities globally, offering a day of fun and joy. Jonna McGrath, United's Denver hub vice president, emphasized the importance of such events for children facing daily challenges, noting the 'magic' it brings to their holiday season.
