Santa is coming to Brookfield by fire truck — and this year, he is taking a different route. The Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company announced its annual Candy Cane Express for Saturday, December 5, beginning at 9 a.m., with a new format for the holiday tradition.

Rather than stopping at individual homes, Santa will travel throughout Brookfield aboard a fire truck, making stops at designated locations along the way to hand out candy canes, greet families, and spend time with children. He will also make special appearances at select locations where families can take photos with him. The fire company says the new format gives more families across town a chance to see Santa and share in the holiday excitement.

The schedule of stops and photo opportunities has not been released yet. The fire company says it will announce locations and approximate arrival times in the coming weeks, and residents should follow its announcements for details.

The Candy Cane Express is one of the fire company's community traditions, run by the same volunteers who answer emergency calls in town. December 5 is still five weeks away, but families planning around the holidays can now put the morning on the calendar.

Because the format is new this year, the stop list matters more than usual. In past years, families waited at their own homes for a visit; this year, families will need to get to one of the designated stops or a photo location. That makes the coming announcement — the schedule of stops and approximate arrival times — the detail to watch. The fire company says it will publish those details in the coming weeks, so families who follow its page will see them as soon as they are posted.

For now, the facts to hold onto are simple: Saturday, December 5, starting at 9 a.m., Santa aboard a fire truck, candy canes, and photo stops somewhere around town.
