Visiting Santa's Candy Castle in Santa Claus Indiana
The Bear vs. The Avalanche at Santa's Candy Castle.
Another video from Jamie's trip to Santa's Candy Castle located in Santa Claus, Indiana. Immediately after destroying the Candy Castles record for eating a 1 pound fruitcake (see video here: ) Jamie decided to see if he could set another in house record. Up next was The Avalanche a 60 ounces (1/2 gallon) of the Candy Castles famous frozen hot chocolate which is, by the way, the world's largest cocoa beverage!

Santa Claus Indiana where Christmas is Everyday!
This tiny town of Santa Claus makes it feel like Christmas all year long. It was established in 1856 when the townsfolk heard sleigh bells outside of a town meeting. A child thought it was Santa Claus and shouted the name. That's exactly how the town came to be known as Santa Claus. I've been here twice now, once at Christmas time and I had to go back for a visit in the Summer just to see how it is. Even though this is a small town there is quite a bit to see here. They have a golf course at Christmas lake if you want to squeeze that in while your family goes shopping. Frosty's Fun Center has miniature golf, food and a little arcade. Santa's Lodge has just added a zip line course. A ride can be taken on one of the horses at Santa's Stables. The town is visited by many each year because of the theme park Holiday World. This is actually two parks in one but only one admission is required for entry. It is an amusement park and a water park so it seems like you can't possibly have all the fun in only one day. If you love history then the area is full of it. Holiday World began as Santa Land and became the U.S.'s first theme park in 1946. Head over to the Museum for a great showcase of how the town began and how it continues the tradition. While you are there you can check out the towns first post office, a church from 1880 and a huge Santa statue. Nearby is Candy Castle. This was the first themed attraction in the U.S. when it opened in 1935. They have all sorts of candy in there. Some of it is made in house but they also have candy from all over in case you are picky. Just outside of town sits Lincoln's Boyhood Home National Memorial and Park. Here you can catch a glimpse of what life was like during Abraham Lincoln's days as a boy. You can see where his cabin was, walk the grounds where he did and enjoy the Trail of Twelve Stones . The stones have been taken from various places across the nation where Lincoln had something significant happen. Each stone has a marker explaining what that even was. This is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to keep going back.
The town receives over 15,000 letters to Santa each year. A group of volunteers known as Santa's Elves replies to them all. It costs nothing more than the stamp you used to mail your letter there. If you're in town though you can write your letter and drop it off at the town's original post office for free. All the materials are provided there.

Santa Claus is a town in Spencer County, Indiana, United States, in the southwestern part of the state. Located in Carter, Clay and Harrison Townships, it sits between Interstate 64 and the Ohio River. The population was 2,481 at the 2010 census.
The town was established in 1854 and known as Santa Fe.

Several town meetings were held, during which the name Santa Claus was selected.
