Santa’s Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour to Bring Santa to Naperville for 4th Year

(NAPERVILLE, IL, NOVEMBER 20, 2023) –  Santa’s Christmas Charities, a pending 501c3 nonprofit organization, is

excited to bring Santa’s Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour to Naperville this holiday season.

Santa’s Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour is a one-float, grassroots parade through Naperville, Illinois starring the big guy himself, Santa! Now in its fourth year, the tradition of spreading major holiday cheer continues this holiday season for 12 nights, along 12 routes, and through more than 80 Naperville neighborhoods. Santa’s Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour is powered by Team Doyle Hulsey (TDH) CrossCountry Mortgage, IBEW Local 701, PowerForward DuPage, The Branch Moms Community, the Career & Networking Center, and CoDo Marketing.

Kids young and old can catch Santa’s Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour for 12 nights from Saturday, November 25 – Wednesday, December 6 starting at 5:00PM. Each nightly route will last approximately 2.5-3 hours. To make it easy to follow Santa, go to santassleightour.org to view route maps and turn-by-turn directions. Folks can also track Santa each night via the “Santa Tracker.” The tracker link will reset each night for the new route and neighborhoods.

Wanting to make this annual event bigger this year and in years to come, Santa’s Christmas Charities was founded as a way to continue spreading holiday cheer throughout the community. The organization is dedicated to making a significant impact on the lives of children and families who are in need. To raise funds, Santa’s Christmas Charities established ways for the community to get involved in Santa’s Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour via sponsorships, including Reindeer Route Riders, Candy Cane Crew, and Red Bow Gift, or through a direct donation at santassleightour.org. All funds will go to the following three deserving children’s charities: Cal’s Angels, Gigi’s Playhouse, and Almost Home Kids. Santa and his Board of Elves will be inviting all 2023 sponsors to our first Holly Jolly January Jubilee in January 2024, where we will distribute funds raised during Santa’s Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour.

“Santa’s Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour is building on the success of #TDHSanta that started in 2020 during the pandemic when kids couldn’t go out to see Santa,” said “Mortgage Matt” Doyle of Team Doyle Hulsey (TDH) CrossCountry Mortgage. “When I see all those smiling faces as Santa rolls through each neighborhood, I know we are establishing core memories in the hearts and minds of kids throughout Naperville. That’s really what Santa’s Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour is all about.”

Doyle added that, “This year wouldn’t have been possible without the heart and dedication of so many, including the amazing elves at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) ​Local 701 who worked tirelessly to build Santa’s sleigh. They brought their mad skills to really light up and bring Santa’s sleigh to life!”
