Here in Kansas City on this Thanksgiving night, the Plaza Lights have turned on, and Christmas season is thus underway. That inspired the subject of this post: namely, street names that remind me of Christmas!

I know that right here in my city, we have a street named Holly Street, and there's a Noel Street in the nearby suburb of Lee's Summit. As for elsewhere, the street names in the Christmas-themed towns of North Pole, Alaska and Santa Claus, Indiana of course come to mind, as do Mistletoe Avenue in San Antonio, Texas, and St. Nicholas Avenue in New York City.

Throughout the country, what other "Christmas-y" street names might there be, aside from the ones I just listed? Anyway, this seems like the perfect post to ring in the Christmas season!

Exit 88 on US 101 in Carpinteria, CA is Santa Claus Lane:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/MARLgFJJSzaa6GZe9

I think there used to be some Christmas-themed commercial development on Santa Claus Lane, but it's long gone.

Santa’s Village Road in Scotts Valley, CA, alongside CA-17. Home to Santa’s Village, a theme park from 1957 to 1979. Even though the park was long ago redeveloped into tech offices, the street name remains (including an exit from CA-17):

To the best of my knowledge, The Village of Rudolph, WI (yes, it's a real place - 54475), has no Christmas-themed street names.

Rudolph does, however, have the best fresh cheese curds I've come across in WI.

Evergreen Ave, in the middle of nowhere in Orange County, VA.
Rudolph St, Ruckersville, VA.

Rudolph is an actual name. The city in Wisconsin and the single street that Hunty2022 mentioned with nothing else adjacent to it probably have nothing to do with the reindeer.

Well, of course it's an actual name.  Johnny Marks certainly didn't make it up.

The village was named for a person, Rudolph Hecox:

The USPS did use it in their nationwide holiday mailing promo ads over the past couple of years.

It doesn't get any more "Christmas-y" than Merry Christmas Lane in Mineral Point, WI. It is named after the former Merry Christmas Mine.

There is also a decidedly un-festive I-41 frontage road between Appleton and Neenah, WI called 'Holly Rd'.

The Toco Hills area of DeKalb County, Georgia has Christmas Lane, Holly Lane, Merry Lane, and Reindeer Drive in close proximity, and is also an area where a lot of Orthodox Jews live:
