You didn't really think that Santa would let a little ole' global pandemic stop him from delivering holiday joy to Greater Lansing, did you? Thankfully, our wonderful Lansing area communities have gotten quite creative when it comes to hosting him this year. From virtual visits, Plexiglas and socially distanced trips there's no reason to skip out on seeing Santa this year. We've got the scoop on all the places you can find that handsome bearded fellow in the Lansing area this season!

Various Dates and Times | By appointment only
Everyone is asking about Santa! We have been in contact with him, and the answer is YES! He will be stopping by the farm this year. We have some extra precautions in place to keep the big man in red safe (and comply with COVID-19 Guidelines). Instead of selling individual tickets, each family unit will have their own car. Each car comfortably seats 6, the price will be $80.00 per car. When you arrive at the North Pole, there will be a magic shield infant of Santa. But, you will be able to talk with him and there will be a photo opportunity. Things are going to be a little different this year, but the magic will remain. We do have the party wagon available that can hold 16 people (of the same family unit) and that will be $160.00.

Greetings from Santa
December 4-14th , 2020
All Day
Santa is adapting his ways for 2020. Since his in person visits with children will be fewer and far between this year, he informed us that he would like to mail a letter or send a video message to the kids in your life by working with the Relay for Life of Greater Lansing. For a $10 donation the children in your household will receive a handwritten letter from Santa or for a $20 donation Santa will send a video message to the children in the household. Letters will be placed in the mail by December 14. Follow the survey link in details to complete your request. After completing the survey registration, you will be contacted with a link to make your donation. Note, you can sign up for this fundraiser at any time between now and December 10. Please email Don at Donw@deepblueinsights.com if you have any questions.
