Santa is on vacation, visiting South Florida to celebrate the magic of Christmas in July at The Christmas Palace. Families are invited to a special, FREE  Christmas in July event celebration, South Florida–style.

All the good little boys and girls will have the opportunity to snap selfies with Santa while he’s in vacation mode, rocking his summer shades and flip-flops while relaxing in a beach chair against a sunny backdrop, giving out tropical candy canes. Attendees can also capture moments in the digital photo booth with summer-themed Christmas props.

Big Kahuna Hawaiian Shaved Ice Food Truck will serve free, colorful shaved ice.

In addition, Santa is starting to make his list and check it twice. Children can drop their wish lists off in Santa’s Mailbox, which Rudolph will take straight to the North Pole.

Special offers available during this magical event include an additional 25% off the entire store and an extra 25% off any single item. The Christmas Palace is hosting hourly giveaways for summer, coastal-decorated trees, garland and wreaths, and Santa will be giving away a $500 gift card.

Guests are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys to support Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital patients through the rest of the year. These gifts allow Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital to continue living out its mission, “The power of play promotes positive healing.” Toys are used to celebrate major milestones such as birthdays and last chemo treatments, reward children for their courage and cooperation, and bring comfort and imagination into their healing journeys.
