Question: What ghost town near Kingman was once planned as a Christmas-themed resort town with streets like Prancer Parkway and Donner Drive?

Answer: Santa Claus, Arizona. The town was founded in the 1930s by a California real estate developer who hoped to create a holiday resort along Route 66. For decades, children mailed letters to its post office for replies from Santa, but the attraction declined in the 1970s and ’80s.
