Looking for something different to do on Christmas eve? Check out the Water-skiing Santa and His Kneeboarding Reindeer. This unusual annual event features a water-skiing Santa, flying elves, the Jet-skiing Grinch, and Frosty the Snowman performing near National Harbor along the Potomac River. Join in the Sing-along and have a Merry Christmas!

The public can view the event from the shore just south of the Wilson bridge, or by riding on a DC Cruises sightseeing boat. The boats have indoor, heated space, and will feature a pizza lunch, with salad and hot apple cider. Tickets for the cruise must be purchased in advance and are $28/per person, and $14/child (including tax). The cruise takes place on December 24th, and runs from 12-2:30pm.
