Discover Where Santa Found His Western Spirit
Most folks know where Santa spends Christmas. Few know that he found a second home in the Arizona desert.
Long ago, Santa and Mrs. Claus traveled south from the North Pole and discovered Tombstone—a dusty frontier town filled with cowboys, prospectors, wide-open skies, and plenty of adventure.
Santa fell in love with the place and created a desert retreat where he could slow down, enjoy the sunshine, and embrace his Western side.
Now, Santa is inviting you in.
