From Lane Stadium to Santa's Workshop To Mrs. Claus’ House
It's hard to imagine the jostle of a college football game transitioning smoothly into the peace of Santa's Workshop. Yet, for one lucky fan, that improbable journey is about to begin! After catching a touchdown pass at Lane Stadium, they find themselves magically beamed to the North Pole.
- Perhaps it was a special Christmas ornament, or maybe a mischievous elf had something to do with it.
- Whatever the reason, our fan is about to experience a unforgettable adventure filled with toy-making elves and of course, the one and only Santa Claus!
