Expand to see the parent tip
Christmas in Crabapple is how Milton starts the holidays, in the historic Crabapple district around Broadwell Pavilion. Families spend the afternoon with face painting, a DJ and live holiday music, including the Milton High chorus.
Santa poses for free professional photos and collects letters, and at dusk he helps light the city’s planted Christmas tree, usually with a giant switch and a burst of made-for-the-day snow.
Parent tip: Get in Santa’s photo line early in the afternoon, then grab a hot chocolate and claim a spot near the tree before the sun goes down.

While Santa is busy getting ready, Mrs. Claus hosts a fancy, festive tea party in Milton City Hall’s Council Chambers a few days before Christmas.
Spots are limited and they go fast, so it feels like a special invitation. Dress-up is very much encouraged, and little ones get to meet Mrs. Claus up close.
Parent tip: Watch for registration to open on the City of Milton registration page under Milton Community Events, and sign up the day it opens, since past years filled quickly.

Expand to see the parent tip
Milton’s firefighters host a pancake breakfast with Santa at Fire Station 44, and it is one of the city’s best-loved traditions: more than a thousand people came through over three hours last year.
Kids eat pancakes, groove to holiday tunes and wait their turn to see Santa, and in past years some favorite movie characters have dropped by too. Families are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy for the city’s Toy Drive.
Parent tip: Park at the office complex next to Station 44 or near Stonecreek Church and walk over. Come early: the line for Santa builds after 9 am.

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.
