Santa’s Stagecoach: Christmas fun at Old Tucson Yuletide

Everyone knows the North Pole. It’s where Santa hangs out, along with Mrs. Claus, the elves, Rudolph and company. The South Pole, though less festive, also does pretty well for itself. But outside of Southern Arizona, few have heard of the West Pole, our very own hidden gem winter wonderland, tucked in the rugged, sunset-drenched Tucson Mountains and draped in the Wild West atmosphere of Old Tucson, Arizona’s Western film studio of yore. This December, Old Tucson will once again host Yuletide, Tucson’s premier Christmas tradition, which has delivered holiday joy and merriment to the people of the Old Pueblo since 2022. This year’s festival is preceded by a Nov. 21 Holiday Night Market, a perfect opportunity to pick up some festive finds and get a head start on holiday gift shopping. Along with vendors, the Holiday Night Market will also offer food trucks. It’s an ideal place to get a dolly, storybook or pair of skates along with a delicious bite to eat.
