Santa’s Village
I don’t like cold and I don’t like snow. I know…BAH HUMBUG. I’m scared to tempt fate (oh La Nina) and say, the only place to get snow in Huntsville this year is….Santa’s Village at Alabama Constitution Village. In years past, I’ve been delighted to enjoy snow in little more than a hoodie, sipping hot chocolate, enjoying all of the wonderments of one of Huntsville most delightful seasonal events. I’m going to hope it’s a hoodie year again, but, if not, you’ll see me scarved and gloved with the family enjoying the wonderment of this wonderful Huntsville tradition.
Santa’s village is a magical mixture of entertainment, arts and crafts, seasonal snacks, and the jolly man himself! This spirited event takes place in Constitution Village where the homes from the 1900’s lend a quaint backdrop for this seasonal event. During your visit, you can see Santa’s reindeer, the North Pole elves, and, BRNG YOUR LIST, because Santa will be available take his annual requests (think he’ll tire of hearing about Angry Bird what nots?) Enjoy craft projects in the Toymaker’s Workshop, musical entertainment on the Tinsel Tunes Stage, and nightly snow shows. And, this year (please, a drum roll, because everyone knows I love nothing more than a chance to shop) Santa’s Village is including an Arts Marketplace!!! Have I mentioned the hot chocolate (I did) and the gingerbread cookie decorating (yes, there is more)? This is a MUST do to get in the holiday spirit. You will enjoy it as much as the children will.Now in it’s 10th year, this event is hosted by the EarlyWorks Museum Complex and the Alabama Consitution Village Foundation. Santa’s Village raises funds for the ACV Foundation thus serving students at EarlyWorks Museum.
Santa’s Village was named Alabama Event of the Year by the State of Alabama Bureau of Tourism and Top Twenty Event by the Southeast Tourism Society.

Best gift ever is the one I’m getting this year, it was my daughters’ first time Christmas shopping and they picked it out all by themselves.

My family loves Santa’s Village. We have so much fun there and I get lots of photo ops.
My favorite gift was definitely my Nintendo. I wanted one for a long time and my parents totally surprised me that year!

Never been to Santa’s village and really hope to get to take my 4 year old this year!
To me the best Christmas presents are what you give and the warmth you feel in doing so. And the time off with family and friends.

The best gift was the one I got every year (and still get). It was a baby doll and a set of pajamas or nightgown that mom let us open on Christmas Eve. So thankful that I have gotten to do the same thing for my daughter

My husband buys me a gold/silver trimmed rose every year for Christmas. He goes down and picks it out all on his own which for him is a miracle lol
