Down in Cajun Country, Santa Claus is more commonly known as Papa Noël. While he still makes his way around the world every Christmas delivering holiday cheer to all the good boys and girls, he trades his reindeer for alligators when he reaches the swamps. At least, that’s the Cajun version in the popular holiday book, “A Cajun Night Before Christmas.” While there are plenty of spots to snag a selfie with Santa in Louisiana, this one might just be the most unique. At McGee’s Swamp Tours, you can take a swamp tour with Santa. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
In what can best be described as a Cajun version of the Polar Express, the Atchafalaya Christmas tour is one of the most unique holiday events in Louisiana.
