The Louisiana Christmas Celebration Where You Can Share A Swamp Boat With Santa

Down in Cajun Country, Santa Claus is more commonly known as Papa Noël. While he still makes his way around the world every Christmas delivering holiday cheer to all the good boys and girls, he trades his reindeer for alligators when he reaches the swamps. At least, that’s the Cajun version in the popular holiday book, “A Cajun Night Before Christmas.” While there are plenty of spots to snag a selfie with Santa in Louisiana, this one might just be the most unique. At McGee’s Swamp Tours, you can take a Christmas swamp tour with Santa, known as the Atchafalaya Christmas tour. It’s the same great swamp views with a festive twist, and we cant wait to see what’s in store this year. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Where Are The Best Christmas Attractions In Louisiana?
McGee's Swamp Tours goes all out for Christmas, and they're not the only ones!
- LARC's Arcadian Village is easily the best Christmas village in Louisiana, fusing authentic state culture with classic holiday festivities. Taking place over 23 acres with eleven buildings - many authentic homes preserved from the 19th century - this spectacular sight gets transformed into a dazzling display of Christmas lights, carnival rides, and live musical performances. There is also cajun food and even animated musical figures to amuse the revelers!
- The American Rose Center in Shreveport, the nation's largest park dedicated to roses, is always beautiful - but during this season it completely transforms into a holiday spectacular kicking off the day after Thanksgiving. Christmas in Roseland features thousands of twinkling lights, unique photo opportunities, ornate displays, and a unique opportunity for family photos with Santa. There's even a s'mores pit to roast your own - kits can be purchased on-site.
- Lafreniere Park in Metairie is the place to go if you believe there's no such thing as too many Christmas lights - because there are millions of them waiting here at an experience you can drive or walk through. This has been a tradition for many years, and last year's display had over ten million lights. Local food trucks will be on hand to greet hungry revelers, and some of the light highlights include a Christmas train and a sixty-foot sea serpent.
