The Massachusetts Christmas Celebration Where You Can Visit With A Lobster Boat Santa

If you think that Santa only travels by a sleigh pulled by reindeer, you may be surprised that he travels a bit differently when he comes to the small seaside town of Marblehead. This year, you can have a unique Santa experience in Massachusetts when you visit the town of Marblehead for its annual Christmas walk.

Each year, the historic seaside town of Marblehead welcomes the holiday season in the most magical way. The annual Christmas Walk is a much-anticipated event for locals and visitors alike.

This year marks the 51st annual Marblehead Christmas Walk and it will be held from Thursday, December 1 through Sunday, December 4, 2022.

One of the best parts of this event is the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus by lobster boat! People line up by the water to welcome the jolly couple. It's an exciting event for all ages.

Santa's arrival by lobster boat is certainly proof that he doesn't always travel by a sleigh pulled by reindeer! This must be his preferred mode of transportation when he visits Marblehead.

In addition to Santa's arrival, there will also be a parade, music, tree lightings, and a gingerbread festival, among other festivities.

Local stores, boutiques, and artisan markets will be open as well as so you can get some early holiday shopping done while supporting local businesses.

And don't forget to stop and say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Claus and let the jolly ol' elf know what you want for Christmas.
