Santa's Coming to Town - Counting Puddles - Cross Stitch Pattern [Needlework Marketplace 2026]

Preorder deadline: August 10

This modern cross stitch design was inspired by pondering what would happen if Santa needed to get to town quickly… and didn’t want to bother with preparing his sleigh and reindeer. He’d drive a car with peppermint wheels, of course! And the trip wouldn’t be complete without a Christmas tree strapped on top full of cheerful ornaments, and even a bird on its branches announcing their arrival as they travel through the snow.
