Operation Santa is back — and bigger than ever! Each December, Santa rides with the Lucketts Volunteer Fire Company to bring holiday cheer to families across our first due. For 2025, we’re rolling out five nights of routes, covering nearly every neighborhood from Taylorstown to Waterford to Village Green.
This year’s ride includes lights, music, sirens, and plenty of waves from Santa and the LVFC Support Services crew. Whether you’re stepping outside to watch Santa pass your driveway or joining the Village Green bonfire on Night 5, it’s one of the most loved traditions in Lucketts.

Join Us for a Lucketts Tradition
Operation Santa is one of our favorite community traditions, made possible by LVFC volunteers and the support of our neighbors. We look forward to seeing everyone out along the routes again this year — waving from porches, driveways, and sidewalks as Santa brings holiday cheer across Lucketts.
Bundle up, listen for the sirens and Christmas music, and we’ll see you along the route!
