Céline Dion and her children are celebrating the start of the holiday season by spending quality time together.
Dion and her sons watched the Montreal Canadiens take on the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Monday. The music legend, 55, documented the “fun” in a recent Instagram post filled with rare group photos.

“They played so well, what a game,” Dion added in the caption. “Thanks for meeting us after the game, guys! It was unforgettable for all of us. Have a great season!”
In the photos, Dion and her son René-Charles (22) and twins Eddy and Nelson (13) are seen visiting the Canadiens after the game. In addition to sharing a clip of the singer’s appearance on xformerly known as Twitter, the team left a sweet comment on the post that read: “Thank you for the wonderful moment, Celine! 🫶.”
In December, the “My Heart Will Go On” singer was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome — a rare and incurable neurological disease that can cause debilitating muscle spasms.
According to the Stiff Person Syndrome Foundation, “muscle spasms and stiffness are highly variable in their severity and rate of worsening.” The rare condition can also cause increased stress and anxiety, mobility problems and changes in posture.

The diagnosis in May caused Dion to cancel all scheduled tour dates through April 2024. She shared the news via a press release on xwith a heartfelt message to his fans.
“I’m so sorry to disappoint you all once again… and although it breaks my heart, it’s best to cancel everything until I’m really ready to get back on stage… I’m not giving up… and I can’t wait to see you again,” it says in the statement.
A source told PEOPLE at the time that the performer made the announcement to be “fair to the fans.”
