HOLT, Fla., Dec. 6, 2025—Santa Claus will make his annual run through Holt again this Dec. 20 and 21 with help from Holt Fire District and his old pal, the Grinch.

The two-day run covers most of Holt and gives Santa a chance to check out the area before his Dec. 24 visit.

And while Santa is greeting the good girls and boys in Holt, the Grinch will be stirring up mischief behind his back.

Santa would like to thank Kindred Spirits Therapy Minis for helping his elves by providing the stuffed animals he gives away in Holt each year.

Santa’s first trip is scheduled to begin at noon Dec. 20 and will cover most of the town west and north of Holt. Then he’ll head east on U.S. Highway 90 to Galliver Cut Off and Griffith Mill Road to cover areas north of the railroad tracks.

On Dec. 21, Santa will make another trip around the area to visit with people on the east side of Holt and south of Hwy 90.

See below for the complete schedule.
