Every year my family has a reunion at our farm house in Independence.
Every year Santa arrives to bring gifts for the younger kids.
Every year he arrives in a different mode of transportation.
He has come in a classic mustang, on a tractor, horse and buggy,motorcycle,hot air balloon,old truck, jeep from the g.i. Museum, limo, 4 wheeler, etc.

Looking for another unique mode of transport.

I will arrange for Santa, all I need is a vehicle with driver to load him and his sack of gifts.

If you have something,let me know. I am willing to compensate for time and effort for the :45-1 hour it will take, within reason.

Date is December 5 about 2:30pm

Open to just about anything. Unique tailgate vehicle? Fire truck? Camel? Race car?
Has to be able to come about 1/2 mile down a dirt road and leave again.

TIA

Skydiving might be something to work on for a future year. Segway. Taxi? Recumbent bicycle. You mentioned motorcycle, but have you used one with a side car? Moped. Go-cart. Off-road/all-terrain skates (Santa should probably wear protective gear, haha). Hire a police escort? Food truck? UPS or USPS would be funny but I'm sure would be against policy. Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Kidding about that one but wouldn't that be memorable.

How about an old fashion hay ride? There is also a guy in town that pulls a kiddie train at church festivals in town. That would be really cute.

Bike with Santa in lycra.

Mule train.

Taxi, Uber.

Jogging Santa who then makes the rest of the family join him in a 5K before he passes out gifts.

One of those giant hamster bubbles.

Have him delivered in a giant box.

We threaten our Santa with that every year. We use the same one each year. The kids remember. He is a professional and looks the part, including age and build. Not the best candidate for an athletic entrance.

We have done the hay ride.

One year we were without transportation and we snuck him in the back of the house while the kids were on the front porch waiting and he just "appeared" behind them. Worked surprisingly well.

I have a minivan with a sunroof, ha!

This sounds like lots of fun for the kids every year! I hope you find something great!

What about Santa riding in on a vintage Model A or Model T?

I love the giant hamster ball idea.

Thought of an ultralight aircraft, as well.

I hate to break it you, but Santa is a lie.
It's you parents.

Sorry/not sorry

You mentioned horse and buggy...what about a team of mini-horses and cart? Reach out to the Central Texas Miniature Horse Club (on Facebook or their website).
