Holiday Magic

Treehouse receives lists from both DCYF and Tribal courts of all children and youth in foster care who are eligible for Holiday Magic. We then send emails and letters to all eligible kids and their caregivers to let them know this service is available to them for free.

To be eligible, youth must: 

• Be age 0–21 
• Have an open State or Tribal dependency case or shelter case 
• Be in an out-of-home placement between October and December 

Youth with a Courtesy Supervision case who are a dependent of Washington state but are residing in a different region/state are also eligible. 

If you are eligible and have not received an eligibility email or postcard from Treehouse between September and October, contact your social worker to have a referral made to the Holiday Magic program.

When we are open for the season, you can register online at the link below or by calling 206.267.5111 to speak to a Holiday Magic Representative.

Each eligible youth will receive one (1) gift. The registration form will ask you to select your top two gift preferences, and we will mail your top choice, if available.

If you move after submitting your Holiday Magic request, please contact us at holidaymagic@treehouseforkids.org or 206.267.5111. We will update your information.

Dates to come for the 2026–2027 year.

Please note: requests placed after the priority deadline are not guaranteed to arrive before December 25; they may arrive as late as January.  

Gifts will begin shipping in early November. When your gift ships, you will receive an email notification from FedEx including your tracking number and delivery information. If you believe your gift has been lost or stolen in transit, please contact us as soon as possible.  

We’d love to answer your question! Please contact email us or call 206.267.5111.
