Henderson's Candy Cane House Opens To Public For 4th Year
After Victor Cardenas' husband, Joey Cardona, survived a cancer diagnosis several years ago, the couple celebrated by decking out their Henderson home with dozens of Christmas trees, thousands of lights and free tours to raise funds for homeless people.
Now for the fourth year running, Cardenas and Cardona are again showcasing their festive home, known as the "Candy Cane House."
This walk-through event is free, but visitors are encouraged to donate to HopeLink of Southern Nevada, which fights local homelessness.
"We are deeply moved that Victor and Joey love HopeLink and the work we do in the community," Aaron Sheets, HopeLink's interim chief executive officer, said in a statement.
Visitors to the Candy Cane House can donate gift cards or cash to HopeLink or donate directly through Venmo or Cash App. All donated funds "will go to support families and seniors who may be struggling with rising energy, food or housing costs," Sheets said.
This year, the Candy Cane House will sport 30 more Christmas trees and 20,000 more lights than last year, bringing the total to over 80 trees and 60,000 lights. Complimentary treats and hot chocolate will be served, and there will be opportunities for photos.
This walk-through event, which began Dec. 1, will continue at 366 S. Milan Street in Henderson on weekends through Dec. 23.
It will take place from 6 p.M. To 9 p.M. This Friday through Sunday, Dec. 15-17 and Dec. 22-23.

Candy Cane Christmas - Full Cast & Crew
It's the Christmas season, the favorite time of year for Phoebe Saunders, half owner/operator of Seeing Green Flower Shop along with her childhood best friend Laurie Danes. Phoebe is set in her traditions in all aspects of life, which makes this season potentially not as special when she learns that her favorite Christmas tradition, Candy Cane Lane--a street in her old neighborhood decorated by the residents--is not happening for the first time since she was a child; long-time organizer Louise McGraw is moving, and all the other residents are losing interest. Laurie sees this as an opportunity for Phoebe as she's felt Phoebe's traditions have stifled her life, preventing her from experiencing new things. In finding other things to fill the void, Phoebe meets veterinarian Eric Kelton. He has shut himself off from love since the recent demise of his last serious relationship. That first encounter between Phoebe and Eric leads to a second chance encounter, and a third, and many more. They are vaguely attracted to each other, but their chance encounters never seem to happen at the right time. Will the time ever be right? And will something special replace Phoebe's beloved Candy Candy Lane.
