The Seaford Museum hands a Saturday morning over to children. There is a holiday shop that only kids may shop in, a craft to make, a toy train display to watch and a chance to meet Santa.
It runs Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Seaford Museum, 203 High Street. Admission is free and no reservation is needed, but children must come with an adult. The historical society suggests sending kids with a few dollars for the Holiday Shop.

Santa visits the Children's Area of the Seaford District Library for an evening pajama party, and kids can tell him what they are wishing for this year. Every child who comes goes home with a free book from the library.
The party is Monday, December 21, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., and the library says Santa will be visiting at 5:00 p.m. It is listed for families. The page does not mention a fee or registration.

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.

The story of Christmas in Seaford
Seaford sits on the Nanticoke River and was once called Hooper's Landing, a name its city seal remembers with a ship. At Christmas, families head to the Seaford Museum on High Street, housed in a former post office, for a children's morning with Santa and a toy train display.
How Seaford celebrates
Seaford's listed Christmas events for children come from two local institutions. The Seaford Historical Society opens the Seaford Museum at 203 High Street for Children's Day on Saturday, December 5, 2026, a free morning with a kids-only holiday shop, a craft, a toy train display and Santa. The Seaford District Library follows on Monday, December 21, with a Pajama Party with Santa in its Children's Area, where every child receives a free book. The museum is in a former post office, and High Street around it holds several buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. A Seaford Christmas Parade is also listed among the city's points of interest.
Fun facts about Christmas in Seaford
Seaford is named after Seaford in East Sussex, England. The first recorded settlement in the area was Martin's Hundred, a 1,750-acre tract granted to Jeremiah Jadwin of Virginia on January 22, 1672. The land was originally settled as part of Maryland, and the boundary was finally fixed by surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in 1763. The city seal carries the year 1865, the date of Seaford's incorporation, and the 2020 census counted 7,957 residents.
