The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation is hosting its 22nd annual Children’s Holiday Party Tuesday at Gillette Stadium.

About 250 children in need from the Salvation Army and community centers throughout New England will be in attendance for a night of food, games, presents, and a surprise visit from Santa Claus.

Patriots players, including Brandon LaFell and Devin McCourty, will join Pats cheerleaders and Pat Patriot to host the night of fun, serving the children dinner, signing autographs, and offering gifts from the foundation.

The most exciting part of the event is "Build-A-Tree," where children race to decorate a Patriots player with bows, ornaments, and more.
