Two other holidays families celebrate in December and its importance | Nightly News: Kids Edition

Happy holidays! Christmas just wrapped up but this week there are two other holidays families will celebrate: Kwanzaa and Hanukkah. We explain why Kwanzaa celebrates African-American culture and heritage. Hanukkah, the first night of the Jewish holiday, began on December 25. We take a look at the history of this holiday. Then, if you could talk to your future self, what would you say? What kind of stories and objects would you document? Students in Chicago are making time capsules to embark on a journey across time. Kids spotlight: The Minions, the Wicked witches, the Grinch and beyond! Our team of Kids Correspondents has everything you want to know about your favorite characters of the year.
Parents, are your kids curious about any particular topics in the news? Feel free to send us videos of their questions at [e-mail], and they might be used on a future episode of "Nightly News: Kids Edition."
