Santa Arrives at Pennypickle's Workshop, Old Town Temecula

Professor Pennypickle and Santa are long time friends (remember they have figured out how to deliver presents all over the world in one night!) so naturally there's a cozy little cabin just waiting for him. The jolly old man will make his arrival on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29th AT 6 PM. (Rain or shine!) The Professor lets his old friend borrow a comfy, cozy cottage in the Workshop's outside area just so you can visit him in an old-fashioned, non-commercial setting. Pennypickle's Workshop will be open from 10 am to 9 pm on this special day, and Santa will entertain visitors until 9 pm.

A Christmas Carol 2024 at the OTTCT

Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who believes that personal wealth is far more valuable than the happiness and comfort of others. With an infuriated "Bah! Humbug!" Scrooge summates his feelings of Christmas tidings and charitable giving, but he's forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his Past, Present and Future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful "Happy Christmas" before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him.

Santa's House & North Pole - Skypark at Santa's Village

Hundreds of years ago, Santa Claus crash-landed in the NorthWoods when his magic key was stolen by the trickster Jack Frost. Fortunately, Santa was found by Arrow, the guardian of the NorthWoods, and together they recovered the lost key. Santa was so enchanted by the NorthWoods and its inhabitants that he decided to establish a permanent residence there called Santa’s Village. Now, visitors come from all over the world to visit Santa, Arrow, and all the creatures who call the NorthWoods home. Santa’s Village is a magical place year-round, but something extra special happens when we get close to the holiday season: the entire village transforms into a dazzling Christmas Wonderland!
