JACKSON, Wyo. — This year, the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce created a COVID-friendly way for young families to visit Santa on the Town Square during the holiday season.

The Winter Wonderland in Town Square includes a life-size snow globe for Santa to stay cozy inside and talk to kids via walkie-talkie outside the globe.

Each evening until Dec. 23, (excluding Dec. 21) children can attend the ‘Santa on the Square program’ from 5 to 7 p.m. Hot chocolate by McDonald’s and holiday cookies by Whole Foods are provided nightly in the warming hut.

Precautions are in place to keep both Santa and local families safe throughout these events.
