Winter Wonderland
As Winter Summerland’s origin story goes, Santa was flying back to the North Pole one night after a busy Christmas Eve. While he was passing over Florida, he spotted a strange sight: Snow in the Sunshine State! Going down to investigate, he decided this was just the place for a vacation resort for his hard-working elves – they deserve a break, after all. Now, while the North Pole cold never bothered some of the off-duty elves anyway, others dreamed of palm trees and a place to stick their toes in the sand. And so, Winter Summerland was born
Fantasia
