Santa Spotted Making Early Visits Around Hopewell Valley

by Mike Chipowsky

Santa Claus has been making his way through Hopewell Valley this weekend — with a little help from local fire companies and EMS crews.

On Saturday, Union Fire Company and Rescue Squad brought Santa through neighborhoods in Hopewell Township, where he waved to families from the back of a fire truck and even hitched a ride in a rescue boat. Residents lined streets and driveways as sirens, lights, and holiday music announced his arrival.

On Sunday, Pennington Fire Company continued the holiday cheer as Santa toured neighborhoods throughout Pennington and Hopewell Twp. 

Santa is expected to return on Monday, December 22, to visit the remaining neighborhoods in Brandon Farms.

Track Santa in Real Time

Pennington Fire Company will once again activate its Santa Tracker, allowing families to follow his progress through town in real time:

More details will be shared as the schedule is finalized.

With the help of Hopewell Valley’s volunteer firefighters and EMTs, Santa’s early visits have become a cherished local tradition — and a bright spot for families eagerly awaiting Christmas week.
