Chaska kicks off the season the Sunday before Thanksgiving by lighting a 50-foot holiday tree in Firemen’s Park, sponsored by the Chaska 100 Club.
After the lights come on, families gather around bonfires for s’mores while supplies last, and Santa stops by for a special visit.
Parent tip: The s’mores go while supplies last, so arrive close to 6 pm, and dress for an outdoor evening by the river.

Santa spends a Friday evening at the Chaska Community Center, split into two one-hour sessions so the room never gets too crowded.
Each session mixes a visit with Santa with holiday crafts, music and photo opportunities, and one registration covers the whole family.
Parent tip: Space is limited in each session, so register for your preferred hour early and bring your own camera for photos.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
