It’s one of the most magical parts of the holiday season and something our entire team anticipates each year – the chance to show our hospitality to two of Santa’s reindeer. Having them at the store is one of our most cherished traditions. And we love sharing that excitement with folks of all ages who have made visiting with the reindeer and seeing Santa at our store a part of their Christmas traditions too.
Meeting Santa’s Reindeer
Several years ago, Santa brought two of his reindeer down from the north to meet his Omaha friends. Everyone enjoyed their stay so much – the reindeer, our team, and visitors alike – that they’ve come back to visit every year since. It’s become a cherished tradition for us, and it’s truly a treat to watch the kids’ eyes widen and hear their excited squeals as they spot those huge antlers and that warm fur for the first time.
It’s always an honor for us to take care of these magnificent animals during their long stay. Our dedicated team partners with a local veterinarian to make sure Santa’s reindeer have everything they need to feel welcome and comfortable. And most of all, we love to see families return each year to take photos of their children growing up with the reindeer.
Santa’s reindeer make their home among our forest of fresh-cut Christmas trees, and you’re invited to visit them anytime during store hours until Sunday, December 17th before they head north again. While they’re here, they’ll spend their days meeting friends and resting up before their big night on Christmas Eve.
Say Hello to Santa Too
And of course, Santa wants to check in with his friends – reindeer and children alike – before things get busy on Christmas night. So, he’s dropping by the store for a few special visits.
On Fridays from 4p-6p, and Saturdays and Sundays from 12p-3p from November 24th – December 17th, be sure to bring your letters and get ready to wave and say hello to Santa. Santa is so excited to see you just the same – and he reads and cherishes each and every drawing and letter you drop into his mail slot.
Traditions Continue
We invite you to come and spend time with two of Santa’s own beautiful reindeer – and greet Santa during one of his visits too. Having them here is such a treat, and we look forward to sharing this and many more of your most important holiday traditions with you.
