× Expand Photo by Jon Anderson Santa Claus arrives on a fire truck at the city of Hoover's Christmas tree lighting at Hoover City Hall in Hoover, Alabama, on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025. The Hoover Fire Department once again plans to escort Santa Claus around town on Hoover fire trucks on Christmas Eve. Of course, because fire crews are still on duty for emergency calls, they may have to break away from their intended schedule to answer calls. They will try to return to neighborhoods if interrupted, but it’s always possible some intended areas to visit will be missed. Because the city has grown so much, Santa can’t go down every single street, so people who live on shorter dead-end streets and encouraged to come to a busier main thoroughfare for a better chance to see Santa.
