The Jolly Old Elf rides the train and greets everyone on board, and gives all children a chocolate treat. Be sure to bring your camera and have Santa pose for pictures with your child during this 1½-hour round-trip to Ashland.

Due to an abundance of good little boys and girls, the ultimate gift giver himself will be in Kohl’s stores earlier than ever — and on four separate occasions throughout November and December for pictures with the whole family. Customers can stop by their local Kohl’s to visit with Santa in the toy department and snap a pic on their mobile devices with St. Nick — perfect for this year’s holiday cards. And new this year, Santa’s elves are sending him with new surprise gifts* from Disney, Mattel, LEGO and Play-Doh, each visit. That means free gifts from Santa on four separate days! 

Santa’s sleigh will be stopping by Kohl’s stores nationwide on the following days from 1 - 3 p.m.:

  • Sunday, November 3 - Kids will receive a free surprise gift from Disney
  • Sunday, November 24
  • Sunday, December 8
  • Sunday, December 15
