We are excited to invite you and your family to participate in our virtual “Hopekids Sing for Christmas” experience.
Please carefully read the guidelines below and when you’re ready – just click on the button to upload!

Guidelines for Submissions

  • Video recordings should be filmed horizontally
  • All sing-along submissions should be video recorded without background audio (only your child’s voice). To do this, we suggest the child wears headphones and listens to the lyric videos below on another device to sing-along.
    • NOTE: If they do not sing-along while listening to the tracks, submissions may be omitted, if timing does not align with the recording.
  • Deadline for Submissions is Sunday, November 22 at 11:59pm. All in-person and online Hopekids (preschool-5th grade) are welcome to participate.
  • You are not required to submit all pieces, but are strongly encouraged to participate in all submissions for your child(ren)’s grade level
SAMPLE videos can be found at the bottom of this page.
