Special Event

Join the National Press Club for our annual Family Holiday Celebration on Thursday, December 18 at 5:00 pm for club members and their loved ones.

This is an evening of festive cheer as we welcome the holiday season with food, fun and family activities. Guests can enjoy a seasonal buffet and beverages, along with gingerbread decorating, holiday crafts and a visit from Santa Claus. Complimentary photos with Santa will be available for children in attendance.

Tickets are $23 for adults and include the buffet and a glass of Prosecco. For an additional $5, guests may enjoy endless beer, wine and soft drinks. Children’s tickets are $5 and include food, soft drinks and activities. Admission is free for children under five.

Gather your family and friends and celebrate the most wonderful time of the year at the National Press Club’s Family Holiday Celebration.

Support a Local D.C. Family This Holiday Season

This year, the National Press Club is proud to adopt a local Washington, D.C. family for the holidays through a partnership with the Edgewood/Brookland Family Support Collaborative. The family includes one adult and three young children, and our goal is to ensure they experience comfort, care, and joy during a challenging season. Even the smallest contribution can make a real difference.

A wish list of items the family needs — including clothing sizes — is available here: Family Wish List

You’re welcome to donate as much or as little as you’d like.

If you choose to participate, please note:

  • Drop-off deadline: Monday, December 8
  • Where: Front Desk
  • Items must be new — we cannot accept used items
  • Please leave gifts unwrapped
