You bet Santa is at Flatiron Crossing Mall and the Broomfield Tree Lighting on December 5th—doing the classic “smile, pose, listen to a child explain why their brother should get fewer presents” thing.
Did you also know about the Santa House at Larkridge Shopping Center, December 18–22? Rumor says it’s so magical even grown adults start believing again—usually around the time they smell cinnamon and see a toddler lick a candy cane they absolutely should not have licked. We even added the full Larkridge business directory to help you master procrastinators who make last-minute shopping your number one priority.
Cookies Are Out. Donuts Are In. Milk Is Basically a Crime.
Santa has evolved. He’s a man of culture now. Oreos? Chips Ahoy? Cute. Vintage. Outdated.
He wants donuts. And not the kind wrapped in plastic that tastes like sweetened packing foam. He wants the real deal—The Donut House in Thornton. Handmade, glorious, life-altering pastries that make Santa forget about the time he fell out of the sleigh over Nebraska.
And please, for the love of Frosty, stop leaving milk. The man is 1,750 years old. He is one lactose-heavy sip away from a catastrophic chimney emergency. Upgrade to White Rabbit Coffee Co. Espresso. Cold brew. Drip strong enough to resurrect a gingerbread man.
Christmas Morning Scavenger Hunt, AKA: Making Santa Chaotic Good
Who says Santa is only for the kids? He sees you. He knows who assembled a 162-step play kitchen at 2 a.m. He wants to reward that trauma.
Imagine a Christmas morning scavenger hunt for your spouse where Santa clearly made stops at:
- Duluth Trading Co (flannel MVP)
- Haute Yoga (flexibility: not just for elves)
- Cycle Gear (because Rudolph isn’t the only one who likes horsepower)
- Bassett Home Furnishings (Santa 100% napped on a sofa)
- Petsmart (the reindeer demanded treats)
String clues. Hide surprises. Watch your better half sprint around the house like a caffeinated golden retriever. New tradition unlocked. Relationship bonus points applied. Santa reputation: legendary.
