Looking for the best places to find Santa in Nashville? Let us help — we’ve put together this list just for you. We love a good picture of our kiddos with the Big Guy as much as the next mama (crying or not). So get them in their jammies, that cute Christmas outfit you put together, or just grab ’em and run to the location nearest you. (And don’t forget — Santa can send your little one texts too!)
