LAKE GENEVA, Wis. (WLS) -- Holiday magic is setting sail on Lake Geneva, and this year it's bigger, brighter and a little merrier.

The Santa Cruise returns next month.



The 40-minute ride features lights, music and a surprise visit from Santa Claus at his lakeside hideout.

New this year, adults can join karaoke cruises on Saturday nights.
