Episode 128
Did you know there’s an entire trail of Santa-themed parks across the U.S.—some dating back more than 75 years?
In this festive episode, I unwrapped a twinkle-lit road trip through America’s Santa Parks — the vintage theme parks, roadside attractions, and holiday wonderlands that keep the Christmas spirit alive all year long. From the snowy streets of Alaska’s North Pole to the retro reindeer rides of New England, each stop tells a story of nostalgia, creativity, and pure joy.
In this episode, you’ll visit:
- Santa’s Workshop in North Pole, New York — one of the world’s oldest Christmas parks
- Santa’s Village in Jefferson, New Hampshire — a cheerful, old-school family favorite
- North Pole: Santa’s Workshop in Colorado — where Christmas meets the Rockies
- Santa’s Land in Cherokee, North Carolina — part petting zoo, part holiday time capsule
- Santa’s Wonderland in Texas — a modern, Texas-sized celebration
- Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana — America’s very first theme park
- North Pole, Alaska — where Christmas lights meet the northern lights
Whether you’re a theme park enthusiast or just someone who thinks twinkle lights should be a year-round thing, this episode is your invitation to find a little magic off the beaten path.
