Christmas This Year

Christmas This Year is a heartwarming, family-oriented variety show hosted by artist and musician Jared Anderson.

Previously known as ‘The 15th of December,’ the annual event features members of the Colorado Springs special abilities community and supports organizations that serve families of children with Down syndrome.

Launched by Jared and Megan Anderson with Friends of Club 21 – a nonprofit named for the genetic condition of trisomy 21 (also known as Down syndrome) – the event exists as a fundraiser for Club 21, a unique school started in South Africa for children with Down syndrome.

Five years on, and the “Christmas This Year” production keeps growing with a cast now composed of local special abilities children and adults and the whole Anderson family while ticket proceeds support Club 21 and the Colorado Springs Down Syndrome Association.
