IWE 5th Annual "OH WHAT FUN" Christmas Toy Giveaway 2026

We’re turning 5 — and this year, OH WHAT FUN is bigger than ever!

Join us for the 5th Annual IWE “OH WHAT FUN” Christmas Toy Giveaway, a holiday celebration created to bring joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories to children and families in our community.

We’ve officially outgrown our previous location, so we’re excited to welcome everyone to our NEW location:

📍 Joe Celestin Center
1525 NW 135th Street
North Miami, FL

⏰ Event begins at 11:00 AM

Come early, because this year we’re bringing even MORE fun before the Christmas toy presentation begins!

Children will have the opportunity to enjoy a full day of holiday excitement, including:

• 🎅 Photos with Santa
• 🎪 Exciting vendors
• 🎨 Fun activities for children
• 🎶 Music and entertainment
• 🍿 Snacks and treats
• 🎁 Holiday surprises
• ❤️ Fun and memorable experiences for the whole family

Every child in attendance will receive a Christmas toy — just for being there!

Children ages 4–18 are invited to participate, and all children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 18 years or older.

But for children hoping to receive an extra-special gift, there’s a little more they can do...

Does your child think they deserve an extra-special Christmas gift? Let Santa know!

Have your child write a handwritten letter to Santa explaining why they believe they would be deserving of an extra-special gift this Christmas.

A selection of the top letters will be chosen to be read aloud to the crowd, and those children will have the opportunity to receive an extra-special gift! 🎁✨

🚨 IMPORTANT LETTER REQUIREMENTS:

• The letter must be handwritten by the child.
• The letter must explain why the child feels they are deserving of an extra-special gift.
• The original handwritten letter MUST be turned in at check-in.
• No letter at check-in = NOT eligible for the extra-special gift.
• Every child still receives a toy simply for attending, regardless of whether they submit a letter.

So parents, don't forget to remind your little ones to bring their letters! 💌🎅

We’re spreading the Christmas spirit to the grown-ups as well!

Parents will have an opportunity to win a special gift of their own. To have a chance at winning, you’ll want to know a little bit about IWE and our company’s history and background.

Think of it as a little Christmas trivia challenge — so do your homework before the event! 😉🏆

For five years, IWE has been proud to create a holiday experience centered around giving, community, and making children feel special.

This year, we’re taking it to the next level with a bigger location, exciting vendors, children's activities, Santa, extra-special gifts, and plenty of OH WHAT FUN!

Bring your family. Bring your holiday spirit. And most importantly...

DON’T FORGET THE LETTER TO SANTA! 💌🎅
