For six nights in December, Santa trades his sleigh for a Highland Village Fire Department engine and rolls through the city’s neighborhoods.
The fire department posts each night’s route map and runs a live Santa Tracker, so families can step outside just as the engine turns onto their street.
Parent tip: Check the fire department’s route for the night and pull up the Santa Tracker around 6 pm, then have shoes and jackets by the door.

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.
