Santa’s Drive-In Grotto is coming to Dublin this Christmas

Rudi Kinsella

The world may be changing around us, but that won’t stop Santa from making an appearance.

While kids all over Ireland and the rest of the world may be worrying about how Covid-19 is going to affect this Christmas, we do know for sure that Santa will be coming to Dublin.

Santa’s Drive-In Grotto will be set up in the RDS, where kids will be granted backstage access to see Santa’s magical operations, while also getting to meet the big man himself.

While sat in the car, visitors to the grotto will get to drive through Santa’s runway of blinking lights before you get to the elves’ check-in booths.

They’ll then get to see the Winter Workshops, Santa’s Sorting Office, the Snow Blizzard Containment Centre and even see the Elves’ Christmas Control Centre.

A traffic light system will be in operation, where cars will stop at each red light and let the scene play out.

All in all, the whole thing will take about 20 minutes.

And of course, before you leave, you’ll pull up alongside Santa’s sleigh and receive a Christmas gift.

Given how tough 2020 has been, we’re sure Santa will take it all into account when he’s making a list and checking it twice…
