Santa Can't Wait to Jump into Christmas 2021!
Santa is eager for a Christmas do-over this year and has decided to get a jump start on his holiday plans! The big man in red made a trip to Fairmont Banff Springs this summer to announce the new feature activities for Christmas at the Castle 2021! While there was much work to be done planning for the festive season ahead, he did find some time to take advantage of summer in the Rockies with a stop at the pool, golf course and the patio for a taco or two. Take Santa's advice and start planning your holiday stay today!
