From Lane Stadium to Santa's Workshop
It's hard to imagine the thrum of a college football game transitioning smoothly into the serenity of Santa's Workshop. Yet, for one lucky fan, that improbable journey is about to begin! After catching a touchdown pass at Lane Stadium, she find themselves whisked away to the North Pole.

- Whatever the reason, our fan is about to experience a magical adventure filled with sugarplums and of course, the one and only Santa Claus!
