CHRISTMAS PARTIES IN A NUTSHELL
Santa Claus brings not just gifts but a burst of joy and the spirit of the season to every family and office party, making each Christmas celebration truly magical and memorable.
Christmas in New York City
December in New York City is out on the sidewalks: the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in Midtown, Bryant Park Winter Village, and the Dyker Heights lights in Brooklyn, where neighbors dress their own houses for the season. Santa has always been our busiest December booking, so we gave him a home of his own. Families who want to hire Santa in New York for a Santa-only home visit or office party can now see our Santas, check dates and book in one place.
Santa for Hire
Discover the magic of having Santa Claus at your next holiday gathering in New York City and Long Island. Our Santa character party packages are built for kids’ entertainment and holiday festivities.
While you set up your holiday feast, we run the New York Santa character party: games, songs, balloon twisting, face painting, and more.
Book a Santa character from newyorkpartycharacters.com and kickstart the fun. Add a live magic show with illusions and tricks, or an inflatable bounce house. A costumed Grinch character can join for the older kids at an NYC Christmas party. The same booking covers a children’s party or a corporate event with kids.
When you plan a kids’ Santa party, keep a list of short games and small prizes so the room stays moving. The highlight of the afternoon is still your child with Santa Claus. Bringing your child into the planning is a simple way to bond and to shape the party from a kid’s point of view.

What a Santa Visit Includes
Santa arrives in the full red suit and greets the host first so the room knows the visit has started. Give him a few minutes to set his chair by the tree before the children come in. He sits for story time, then goes through the list, greets each child by name, and takes photos by the tree with brothers, sisters, and the grown-ups who want a picture too.
Gifts are the ones the host provides. Write the name large on each tag so Santa can read it in a moving line. Keep the wrapping simple. Santa hands them out during the photos.
Home visits use the same red suit in a smaller room. Someone meets him at the door and shows him the tree. Children wait in another room until he is seated, then come in together. A grown-up stays with them for the first minutes so the greeting stays calm. An apartment and a house both work if the tree has a clear seat next to it.
Office parties and building lobby parties are the same visit with a longer line. Santa greets the whole room first, then photos. In a lobby or community room, set the chair back from the front door so people coming and going do not cut through the line. The super or a board member can meet him downstairs and walk him to the room. In an office, say whether children of staff will be there, because that changes how long each hello takes. A shop that closes early for staff can host the same kind of afternoon.
Holiday-themed games, songs, balloon twisting, and face painting can run in the same booking as the Santa visit. A live magic show or an inflatable bounce house can sit beside it. The Santa portion stays the arrival, the story, the list, the photos, and the gifts you already have ready.
Coats come off before the pictures. The afternoon ends when the last child on the list has had a turn and Santa has said goodbye at the door.
