By Mary Monahan November 27, 2019

Ho! Ho! Ho! Not all Santas are created equal (is that beard real?) What makes a good Santa? A kind, happy, jolly guy.

SouthPointe Santa-

According to many Lincolnites he is awesome, you can take pictures with your own camera or buy pictures taken by them. Your family pet can also get their picture with Santa! Speaking of pets, Fanny the llama and Shadow the alpaca will be at the Santa Station from 2-4pm on Dec. 7 and 15 for pictures. You can also drop your letter off to Santa at the Mistletoe Mailbox in the First National Bank lobby at SouthPointe and he will answer them! The lobby is open Monday-Friday, 9am-5:30pm and Saturday, 9am-1pm. Santa Station hours are: Fridays, Saturdays & Monday, Dec. 23:  Noon-8pm; Sundays & Tuesday, Dec. 24: 10am-5pm.



Santa at Frontier Harley Davidson-

"Free to visit, not a long line and a very realistic Santa" Lincoln mom Lisa raves about the Santa at Frontier Harley Davidson. He is riding in on December 7, 14 and 21 from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM. Frontier Harley Davidson is located at 205 NW 40th St.

Gateway Mall Santa-

The Gateway Santa is great with kids according to a lot of our readers. He spends time with each family and talks to the kids about their holiday. You must buy a photo package with this Santa. Gateway Santa has special events like Pet Photos and Soothing Santa Photos (for individuals on the entire spectrum of special needs and their families). Gateway is bringing more fun ways to interact with Santa including story times and special character visits from other holiday friends. Santa is available Mondays - Saturdays from 10 am to 8 pm and Sundays from Noon to 6 pm. The Gateway Mall is located at 6100 O Street.


Seward Santa-

The Seward Santa has a cute little house where he meets kids. Enjoy one-on-one time with Santa and Mrs. Claus in the square. Seward's Santa House is located on the north side of the Seward County Courthouse, 529 Seward St. They have several community volunteers that assume the role of Santa and Mrs. Claus throughout the holiday season. They are truly Santa's helpers!



There are many events that have Santas in attendance, check our calendar and look for the 🎅 to know that he will be there!
