A Holly, jolly event as Madison returns to Great Santa Run

It’s been a bit since we caught up with our favorite Playboy model/Strip production show star/bestselling author.

So it’s good to know Holly Madison — who is all that, and more — is the grand marshal of the 13th annual Great Santa Run on Dec. 2 at the Fremont Street Experience. The event is $45 for general participation (which includes a Santa suit), and is the holiday fundraiser for Opportunity Village.

Organizers are hoping for a turnout of 10,000 in the yearly competition with such international destinations as Liverpool for the greatest number of participants dressed as Santa in a single event.

Madison also hosted the event in 2014. She first sashayed into our hearts as Bo Peep in “Peepshow” in 2009, shortly after shedding “The Girls Next Door” reality series, where she, Kendra Wilkinson (now of “Sex Tips For a Straight Woman From a Gay Man” at Paris Las Vegas) and Bridget Marquardt were cast as Hugh Hefner’s trio of girlfriends.

Madison has also hit the New York Times’ best-seller list with 2015’s “Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny,” and her 2016 release, “ The Vegas Diaries: Romance, Rolling the Dice, and the Road to Reinvention.”

Madison and her husband, Insomniac Events and Electric Daisy Carnival founder Pasquale Rotella, and their kids, Rainbow (age 4) and Forest (15 months) live in Las Vegas.

Mayor Carolyn Goodman, members of “The Chippendales” at the Rio, Human Nature of Sands Showroom at The Venetian, Jennifer Romas and Gabriella Versace of “Sexxy” at Westgate Las Vegas and the Clauses are among the dignitaries scheduled to appear.

The OV Elvi, the world’s only all-Elvis dance ensemble, is also set to perform. To which we say, top that, Liverpudlians.
