For Lakemont families looking for something fun and free to do with the kids this Christmas season, the Community Volunteer Fire Department has a special invitation. On Sunday, December 20, 2026, Station 91 in the Mission Bend area of west Houston will welcome families for Santa at the Firehouse, a holiday gathering featuring Santa Claus, fire trucks, treats and an opportunity to spend time with local firefighters.

The free event will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 16003 Bellaire Boulevard in Houston, TX 77083. Families from Lakemont and surrounding communities are invited to stop by, bring their cameras and enjoy a little Christmas cheer at their neighborhood fire station.

Meet Santa, Explore a Fire Truck and Make Christmas Memories

For children who get excited whenever a fire truck passes by, Santa at the Firehouse offers a chance to see one up close, without the sirens and urgency of an emergency call.

Kids can meet Santa Claus, pose for holiday photos, explore a fire truck and enjoy cookies and snacks. Parents and grandparents are welcome to join in, making it an easy outing for the whole family.

Just as importantly, visitors will have an opportunity to meet the firefighters who serve their community. These are the same first responders neighbors depend on during fires, medical emergencies and other difficult moments, and the holiday event offers a chance to connect under much happier circumstances.
