Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
Surprise! Indiana’s an amazing place to visit, live, and/or work – everyone who lives here already knows that. But, during the winter, something especially magical happens: certain cities and towns truly come alive. Sure, everything’s usually covered in a layer of snow, but at this time of year, that kind of thing only adds to the magic. Take, for example, the ULTIMATE Christmas town in Indiana. Sure, most towns love the Christmas season, but this one is SO dedicated that the entire town is all about Christmas… 24/7/365. It’s even in the name itself: Santa Claus.
Truly, I'm not sure there's another holiday-themed town in the world like this one.
Santa Claus is somehow simultaneously totally Indiana and wonderfully worldly; every year, it gets thousands of letters from children writing to Santa... and every one gets a reply.
Here, it's Christmas year-round, with tons of holiday-centric shops and restaurants around town.
For example, Santa's Candy Castle is truly as sweet and wonderful as it sounds: it is, after all, a Christmas-themed candy shop with all the sugar inside you could ever hope for.

The big guy himself makes many an appearance at this time, too - why wouldn't he?
I'm pretty sure that you'll want to make a whole family tradition out of it; it's the embodiment of holiday magic right here in our backyards.
Other must-see spots around Santa Claus (seriously, how cute is that town name though) include the Santa Claus Museum, the Christmas Lake Golf Course, and Frosty's Fun Center.
With five awesome roller coasters and including themes of Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween and the Fourth of July, this one's a must-do for ANY Hoosier and/or visitor to the Hoosier State.
So, come on out to the most enchanting Christmas town in Indiana - if not the whole United States.
No matter what time of year it is, Santa Claus will always be waiting with open arms to welcome you back.
