Cookies, Cocoa and Holiday Cheer Drive-Thru Light Show Returns to Delight El Paso’s Christmas Obsessed

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center will be doing its part to lift our community's spirit by going forward with its annual "Cookies, Cocoa and Holiday Cheer" celebration.

And while TTU isn’t going to let any of the coronavirus variants keep it from lighting up the night, the event has taken on a different look for safety’s sake.

For starters, the 7th Annual Cookies, Cocoa and Holiday Cheer will not take place on the TTU campus as it did pre-pandemic and it won’t be a one night in-person event.

Instead, the medical school has partnered with The Hospitals of Providence to hold a two-night drive-through holiday light show at the hospital’s Transmountain Campus on Friday, Dec. 3 and Saturday, Dec. 4.

As in years past, the festive light show will be accompanied by cheerful holiday music, and will include special appearances from Santa, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch, and the Snow Princesses.

And although it will look different and its presentation will be different, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center's goal remains the same: to bring El Pasoans holiday cheer. And some cookies and cocoa, of course.
