Private Family Sleigh Ride to see Santa at his North Pole Stables

Christmas 2020 at Back of Beyond.

Your adventure begins when you and just your own family climb aboard the red sleigh, pulled by one of the horses, for a very short sleigh ride to Santa’s North Pole Stables!

As your sleigh pulls up, Santa himself will come out to greet you. This is your chance to visit with him, from your sleigh, outdoors and socially distanced. During your visit, Santa’s helper will take a family photo with Santa, on your own camera or phone, hand out candy canes and give you a picture of one of our horses.

Your visit ends as you wave goodbye to Santa and the red sleigh takes you back to your car. Don’t be surprised if this is the best Santa visit ever!

All Covid-19 regulations are adhered to.

For your safety and the safety of everyone in the community, we came up with a really awesome idea called a “virtual parade” �
Whaaaat?
Never heard of that before? That’s okay, because it’s our first time too! To give you an idea of what the plan is – we’re asking YOU (and those in your bubble or physically distanced like we did) to create a short, funny and festive video to be submitted to us by November 15. You can get as creative as you like!
After we receive your video, we will combine it with other videos and stream it on the day of the parade, November 28. We will also be posting on social media afterwards.
Excited yet? Perhaps the opportunity to win a prize will get you singing a Christmas song!
We’re giving out a trophy for the best “float” (a.k.a. video)!!!! �
Video requirements: 30 seconds or less, dress up, make a makeshift float and give the audience a Christmas cheer✨
