Holly Jolly Celebration Drive-Thru & Run

Holly Jolly Virtual 5K and Fun Run
One of Allen's most exciting holiday events, the annual Holly Jolly 5K and Fun Run (formerly the Rudolph Run), is now virtual.

This family friendly competition is open to all ages and skill levels. The top three runners for each gender and age division of the Holly Jolly 5K will receive a medal.

Holly Jolly Celebration Drive-Thru
Update: This event is fully booked. Visit the Allen Parks & Recreation Facebook page for more great events this season.

Let’s celebrate together (but safely apart) while you take a leisurely drive through Allen Station Park!

To start off your driving delight, elves will greet you with hot chocolate, cookies and candy canes. Have your wish list ready when you arrive, and the elves will hand deliver your holiday hankerings directly to Santa.

Then, drive your joyful Jeeps, tinseled Tahoes and yuletide Yukons through almost a full merry mile of holiday decorations. Don’t forget to tune in to our special Holly Jolly radio waves for some festive music, entertaining banter and play-by-play with Santa’s personal DJ.

Keep your peepers peeping for your favorite peeps: Mrs. Claus, The Grinch and Cindy Lou not to mention Santa’s honorary reindeer of 2020. Cece the Coelophysis with members of her extended family from The Dinosaur Company! Before you leave, each child will also receive a goodie bag of cheerful crafts to do at home.

And of course the grand finale will be the big guy himself. Santa will greet each car from in front of Allen’s lovely lighted Christmas tree.
