The neighborhood drive
Along the committee’s approved route, with 7 scheduled stops. Street times are estimates — step outside a little early.
The neighborhood tradition
Big Christmas magic. Our little corner of Coconut Creek.
Every Christmas Eve, Santa trades his beach chair for the sleigh and makes his rounds through South Creek. Elves wave from the route, families step out onto lawns and driveways, and neighbors in decorated golf carts follow along behind.
It runs on neighbors: people who decorate, donate, drive, and volunteer. The whole thing is organized by South Creek Community Organization (SCCO).
For kids (and their grown-ups)
Send Santa your Christmas wishes
No list needed. A wish can be a toy, a trip to the beach, a kindness, a drawing, or a hope for someone else.

Quick answers
Only confirmed answers appear here. Anything else? Ask the committee.
Where do we meet Santa for photos?
At Donaldson Park, 900 NW 43rd Avenue, from 5:00 to 6:00 PM. Posed photos with Santa on the sleigh happen here only, so be in line by 6:00 PM. Parking is at the park.
Does the route pass my street?
Check the stop list on the Christmas Eve page. Santa leaves the park at 6:30 PM and makes 7 stops between about 6:35 and 7:50 PM, handing out candy canes. He can’t visit every home, but he waves at everyone he sees. Listen for the sirens!
Can we follow along in a golf cart?
Yes! Decorate your golf cart and join Santa as he winds his way through South Creek. Follow behind the sleigh.
What happens if it rains?
Any weather changes are posted at the top of the Christmas Eve page.
Bonus for sharp eyes: bunnies are hiding all over this site. How many can you spot?
