It’s hard to imagine that Santa Claus can appear so many places at once, but that’s going to be the case this month around St. Michael, Albertville and points beyond.
The “Jolly Old Elf” will be popping in a host of community events and local businesses, and we’ve got the (beginnings of a) rundown right here.
There will also be some special holiday events without Santa appearances that you may not want to miss, including traditions old and new!
Nightly
Santa will be in the Cabelas Santa Wonderland each night throughout December – through December 23 (of course). Make time to visit the Wonderland shop upstairs and get a pic with the big guy.
December 6
The big one! Winterfest 2025 is set for 2 to 5 p.m. at Town Center Park and Santa and Mrs. Claus will both be on hand, along with a cast of dozens (including the “Frozen” crew). Stop by for dozens of activities, a wagon ride, bonfires, singing and the official tree lighting at Town Center Park. Events inside the City Hall building and library as well.

Santa will be hanging at Toyland at Fleet Farm in Monticello from 4 to 7 p.m. Grab a toy and donate to Toys for Tots, or grab a gift for yourself!

The Big Guy in Red with the Sled will be at Big Bore – in the Shed. No, this isn’t Seuss. It’s Christmas! Check out Santa at Big Bore from 1 to 3 p.m. There will be a hot cocoa bar for kids – and Adults! Mrs. Claus will be on hand, too.
