Thursday, November 19
When Kris Kringle, a kindly older man from a retirement home, is hired as Santa Claus at Macy’s, his genuine spirit of generosity quickly spreads throughout New York City. Rather than simply sending customers to Macy’s, Kris encourages parents to shop wherever they can find the perfect gifts for their children. But not everyone believes Kris is who he claims to be. Macy’s vocational counselor considers him delusional and dangerous and attempts to have him committed to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital. Kris ultimately finds himself in a courtroom, where his competency—and the very existence of Santa Claus—is called into question. At the heart of the case is one little girl whose belief in Santa may depend on the outcome.

The Upstate Santa Experience is a private, 30-minute visit with Santa designed to feel calm, magical, and unrushed.
Your child will spend time with Santa in his gingerbread kitchen, helping create a special recipe straight from Santa’s North Pole Cookbook. The experience continues in Santa’s Library, where quieter moments unfold as your child finds their name on Santa’s Nice List, explores Santa’s bag, and enjoys genuine one-on-one interaction.
Families booked in the evening will also enjoy the home beautifully lit for Christmas, adding an extra layer of magic to an already special experience.
There are no lines, no crowds, and no pressure — just your child, Santa, and time for the moments to happen naturally.
Included with your experience:
✔ A private 30-minute visit with Santa
✔ Two edited portraits
✔ A custom embroidered red apron, personalized with your child’s name
✔ Reindeer food to take home
✔ A relaxed, story-driven experience
Up to two children may participate at no additional charge, and parents are welcome to join at the end for a family portrait.
Optional holiday keepsakes are available for families who wish to bring home even more of the magic.
