NEA Christmas

01/01/2026

The new year is here, and we hope it brings plenty of real moments like these. Let's make 2026 a year full of memories of gathering, sharing, and stories.

As for 2025...we truly are full of gratitude. To our visitors and friends, thank you SO much for a great first year of NEA Christmas, and we look forward to making real traditions and real memories with you in 2026!

To all the Santas…

The ones who stayed up late last night and early this morning making real magic for their kids.

The ones who saved, sacrificed, planned, and hid little tokens of love and joy anticipating this day.

The ones who baked cookies and made special treats, making memories even sweeter.

The ones who decorated to make their home come alive with Christmas, teaching their kids and grandkids to do the same.

The ones who made schools magical and fun for all.

The ones who planned the office holiday party to bring a little cheer into the work day.

The ones who drove the trucks and stocked the shelves with a little more urgency come October and November.

The ones who kept us safe and healthy as we hustled and bustled around town to shop and visit our favorite Christmas traditions.

To the ones who shared…Merry Christmas.

We hope you take a few moments to share your love and joy with those closest to you. Take time today to share real Christmas cheer with your families and friends. Take the time to make real memories. Reach out to those holding their memories a little closer this time of year. Share Christmas with those you love most, and those who need it.

We love this day, and we thank you for sharing a small portion of your Christmas cheer with us at Santa’s North Pole and the Christmas Tree Plantation over the past few months. We look forward to continuing the traditions of real trees and real cheer next year!

Merry Christmas to all…and to all, an afternoon nap!
