Entrepreneur behind Soul of Santa aims to create Rockefeller Plaza holiday experience on KC’s east side
Tucker Lott hopes an outdoor ice skating rink at 2000 Vine — the home of Vine Street Brewing — will help solidify a new holiday tradition in the 18th and Vine entertainment district, the veteran entrepreneur said.

“We wanted to create a holiday atmosphere where families could gather and have fun,” said Lott. “The entire idea is to create a holiday experience like at Rockefeller Plaza in New York but on the east side of Kansas City.”
The Soul of Santa Winter Wonderland is set to open Friday, Nov. 15 and run through Jan. 5.
Tickets begin at $10 for adults and children older than 5. All proceeds benefit Lott’s The Soul of Santa “Do Good” Foundation, which primarily connects high-functioning individuals with disabilities, as well as their parents or caregivers, to resources such as holistic workforce development plans, food, transportation, clothing and financial literacy.
“The Soul of Santa ‘Do Good’ Foundation seeks to create a world where no one ever feels forgotten or overlooked due to their disability,” said Lott, president and founder of Tucker Lott Cards, LLC and the founder and creator of The Soul of Santa Brand. “It is our soul brand purpose for each and every person to feel love, joy and acceptance.”
The foundation was inspired by Lott’s late daughter Aria Lott, who lived with epilepsy. She has six songs on The Soul of Santa Christmas album compilation including “Fingers in the Snow” and “Diversity.”
“The Soul of Santa symbolizes the privilege each and every one of us has to celebrate Christmas in a manner that reflects our heritage and our belief in the spirit of the holiday known as Christmas, and all that it represents,” Lott said.
