Lexington, SC – The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department is bringing back a local holiday favorite — “Deputy Claus” — for its sixth consecutive year of festive neighborhood visits.
According to the department’s announcement, the cheerful event gives residents a chance to see “Santa in blue” as he tours neighborhoods across Lexington County this December. Families can cast their votes online to bring Deputy Claus to their area using a form shared by the Sheriff’s Office.
The annual event, which blends holiday spirit with community outreach, has become a tradition for many Lexington families. Deputies accompany the blue-suited Santa, greeting children and handing out small treats along the route.
Officials say the initiative helps strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the community during the holiday season. The Sheriff’s Office encouraged residents to share the voting link with friends, family, and neighbors to help spread the word.
Dates and route details for Deputy Claus’ 2025 tour will be released closer to the start of the holiday season.
