After spending all that time in his workshop at the North Pole, Santa is ready for some fun in the sun. Find him at Miami International Airport<\/a> at these locations: Dec. 1\u201310 in the morning at terminal E, pre-security by Havana Collection; and in the afternoon at the north terminal, gate D29; Dec. 11\u201324 in the morning at terminal G, pre-security by Chili\u2019s; and in the afternoon in the south terminal, post-security at the H\u2013J Connector. On select days, the airport also offers holiday craft stations, holiday caricatures, DJ music and other activities to ensure you won\u2019t have a blue Christmas.<\/p>\n

LeBron may have left town again, but there are still plenty of reasons to be of good cheer. If you find yourself at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport<\/a> on Dec. 20 or 21, keep your eyes peeled for Santa, who\u2019ll be walking the building on both days. Holiday fun is a slam dunk.<\/p>\n

Dulles International Airport<\/h2>\n

If you’re traveling through Washington, DC<\/a>, you can catch Santa roaming the terminals on multiple days throughout December. What’s even better is that the airport is also hosting carolers and live music\u2014from brass bands to choral groups to string ensembles\u2014throughout the concourse. Check the airport’s web site<\/a> for Santa’s schedule.<\/p>\n
