How lucky are we that Santa is making so many stops around the Queen City this year? There are many great places to visit Santa – and snap a photo or two in 2022. Check out our list of the best spots to see Santa in Cincinnati for Christmas 2022.
And remember – Santa’s visits usually vary from the days and hours of the holiday attraction he is visiting.
