Holidays

The busy holiday travel continued Friday as people headed home after Christmas or began planning for New Year’s Eve celebrations. NBC10’s Miguel Martinez-Valle shows us travel conditions in the Philly area. 

Are you finalizing those New Year’s Eve plans? Well, NBC10’s Brenna Weick chats with Executive Vice President and head of public affairs for Independence Blue Cross Steve Fera about why you should spend the evening at Penn’s Landing at the RiverRink. 

Prepare for what’s expected to be the fourth busiest travel day of this holiday season. More than 93,000 people will pass through Philadelphia International Airport, and thousands more will hit the roads. NBC10’s Miguel Martinez-Valle reports. 

The holiday season continues with the first day of Kwanzaa! NBC10’s Leah Uko shares how the City of Philadelphia is celebrating the week-long holiday.

We’re counting down to the biggest party of the year! 2025 arrives next week and NBC10’s Brenna Weick is joined by Creative Director Sarah Eberle to discuss how you can ring in the new year along the Delaware River Waterfront.  

Now that Christmas is behind us, it might be time to tackle those gift returns. NBC10’s Miguel Martinez-Valle spoke to some shoppers who are already at stores today exchanging gifts. 

For the first time in decades, the Christmas holiday overlapped with the start of Hanukkah. And people of both faiths came together looking to help those in need in Philadelphia. NBC10’s Brian Sheehan has more. 

With this year’s rare overlap of Christmas and Hanukkah, some local families honored both holidays. NBC10’s Frances Wang spent the evening with a South Jersey family who’s been carrying on their interfaith traditions for decades.

Mandi and Christian Collazo view the overlapping of Hanukkah and Christmas as an opportunity to expose their son to both of their cultures during his first holiday season.

NBC10’s Leah Uko speaks to people giving back to others on Christmas by feeding those in need. The start of Hanukkah at sunset started a bit early with a menorah lighting at the Weitzman Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History.

Students from Delaware’s Salesianum School welcomed in Wilmington neighbors for a warm meal, some music and bag of gifts and essentials on Christmas.

As Christmas coincided with the start of the 2025 Holy Year celebration that he dedicated to hope, Francis called for broad reconciliation, “even (with) our enemies.”

Bethlehem marked another somber Christmas Eve on Tuesday in the traditional birthplace of Jesus under the shadow of war in Gaza.
