MADISON, New Jersey You better not pout, because Santa Claus is still coming to town. But with COVID this year, Santa s safe travels won t just require Rudolph s bright nose guiding his sleigh.
The decades-long tradition of St. Nick visiting the town of Madison, New Jersey was kept alive this holiday season through a partnership with the Boxcar app, an integrated commuting company that has repurposed its software to create a COVID-safe Santa experience. This year has been totally different than anything else we ve done before. We ve decided that the best way is to have people make reservations, people wait in their cars and then they come up and speak to me six feet away, said Santa Claus.
