(WJW) — Santa is preparing to take his trip around the world with presents for all the good little boys and girls.
He’s making MANY stops in Northeast Ohio this year, and we’ve compiled a list of just SOME of them.
It’s recommended you double-check the date, time and price for each event/stop.
Some, but not all, are free.
This list does not include all of Santa’s stops. If we’re missing a particularly magical location or event, please email tips@fox8.com.
