Hialeah starts the holidays early, on a Friday in mid-November, when Veterans Park turns into a winter wonderland with more than 20,000 lights. There is food and live entertainment while the crowd gathers.
Kids can meet and take photos with Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman while they wait for the guests of honor: Santa and Mrs. Claus, who roll in on one of the City of Hialeah’s own fire trucks.

Snow day
Santa's Snow Blast
- When: Saturday, December 5, 2026 (see the host for times)
- Where: Milander Park, 4800 Palm Ave, Hialeah, FL 33012 (opens in maps)
- Cost: See the host for ride and food prices

Santa’s Snow Blast is the day Hialeah gets snow: the city trucks in 50 tons of it and piles it into a mountain at Milander Park for kids to climb, dig and throw.
Around the snow there are carnival rides, games, food and live entertainment, so it fills a whole afternoon. For South Florida kids who have never touched snow, it is a Christmas memory they will talk about all year.
Parent tip: Pack a change of clothes and a towel: Miami snow melts fast in the sun, and so do sneakers. Gloves help small hands last longer on the mountain.

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.
