Forget store crowds, shopping for toys is incredibly easy when you purchase online. Whether you’re shopping for a gift for a specific need, or just browsing, here are some fun finds and toy deals at Amazon today.
Leading up to Christmas, many of these items have steep markdowns in price at the time of this post, although deals can end suddenly and prices can change frequently. Others are just best sellers and looked so intriguing that we figured you might want to check them out.
Whether they’ve been naughty or nice, diners can cross a delicious, stress-free meal off their Christmas wish list. Many Denver area restaurants will be open Christmas Day for dine-in service. Here are some low-cost and moderate-price options, along with a selection of fancy schmantzy spots in case you are in the mood to splurge (be sure to secure reservations for those sooner rather than later).
We will continue to update this list so check here for the latest additions. If you know of any we have missed, send an email to info@milehighonthecheap.com and we’ll do our best to add them.

You better watch out, you better not cry. You better not pout, we’re telling you why, MHOTC has inside intel on Santa. Here’s where you can take the kids to share their gift wishes with the jolly man himself. Unless noted, all visits with Santa are FREE and he’s around through Christmas Eve. Do check, as some sites only let the kiddos onto Santa’s lap if you pay for a photo package.
We’ll continue to update the map as the Chief Scheduling Elf sends us more information, so check back often. Simply move your mouse over the location to find the Santa nearest you.
If you hear about Santa’s whereabouts and it’s not on our map, drop us a note with all the details at info@milehighonthecheap.com.
