Before you skip over Indiana on your way home for the holidays, press play on this episode of Defending Indiana. You might be missing something.
Colleen and Janice kick things off with hilarious memories of Hoosier holidays—think live nativity scenes, sketchy ice skating rinks, and the joy of earning time and a half. But the heart of this episode is all about the small town with big Christmas spirit: Santa Claus, Indiana.
Our special guests, Kathleen Crews of the Santa Claus Museum & Village and Melissa Arnold from the Spencer County Visitors Bureau, share the charm and magic that’s put Santa Claus, IN on the map—literally. From the town’s rich holiday traditions to its national media spotlights (Today Show, CBS, GMA, and even the BBC), you’ll hear why this little Midwest gem is anything but ordinary.
Tune in for some festive surprises, a few laughs, and maybe even a reason to be a little nicer this year.
