HOLT, Fla., Dec. 12, 2023—Santa Claus, with the help of Holt Fire District, is making the rounds two days this year to make sure he knows the area so he can better plan his route Christmas Eve.

Santa’s first trip, scheduled for noon Sunday, will cover most of the town west and north of Holt.

There will be a planned stop at Holt Assembly of God where he can meet boys and girls and have their picture taken with Old Saint Nick.

After the stop, the trip will continue east on U.S. Highway 90 to Galliver Cut Off to cover areas north of the railroad tracks.

On Dec. 23, Santa makes another trip around the area to visit with people south and east of Hwy 90.

Santa will make a stop at the First Baptist Church of Holt to meet children and for photos.

The trip will then continue to areas east and south of Holt. The complete schedule is below.
