Holly the Trolley: Ride with Santa in Waltham

Special Events · All ages · $ Paid · Registration required

Board Holly, Colonial Trolley's vintage Christmas trolley, at Waltham City Hall for a one-hour ride past local holiday-light displays. The experience includes cocoa in a festive travel mug, a souvenir Spark Ticket and Holly Bell for each guest, storytelling and interactive activities built around Holly's Christmas legend. This departure is advertised as a ride with Santa Red, though the general description says he joins on select nights; confirm his attendance with the organizer before booking if that is essential to your visit. Adults are $80 and children are $65, with no additional Eventbrite ticket fee shown. Child age limits and infant seating or ticket rules are not published, so check before bringing a baby. Boarding opens at 4:50 PM. Under-18s must attend with a parent or legal guardian, and parking is free. The optional boarding photo with Santa costs $50 plus a $5.20 fee; you may take your own Santa photos outside boarding time. Festive pajamas and sweaters are welcome. Refunds are offered up to seven days before the event.
