To book a Santa Claus for hire in New York, NY, call or use the form — Sean Michaels takes both.
Call first if you have a date
The fastest way to lock a window is the phone. Have the date, the address, indoor or outdoor, the floor or the driveway, headcount, and whether you want the real beard or the traditional suit. Traditional is the lower-cost option. Real beard costs more. Mrs. Claus and elves are extra if you want them. Santa still leads. If the kids should not see him in the lobby, say who meets him downstairs. If the tree is in a tight corner, say that too. We would rather hear the door twice than stall in the hall.
Doorman buildings need a name at the desk. Walk-ups need the floor. Long Island houses need the town — Nassau or Suffolk, not Long Island City. LIC is Queens. We cover Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Long Island. We do not cover upstate, New Jersey, Connecticut, or Westchester from this site.
What to put in the form
Same facts as the call. Date. Neighborhood or town. Room type: home, office, school, church, photos. How long he should stay. A cell that answers when he is five minutes out. If the visit is a surprise, say who meets him in the lobby. Pets. Stairs. A silent buzzer. Those stall more nights than the suit.
December Saturdays go first. Christmas Eve after dinner is the hour most families mean. A Tuesday in early December is easier. Company parties want a start the planner will keep. See Santa services if you are still choosing the booking type, or service areas if you are checking the map.
Hours and December weather
We quote the window you booked. We do not run a walk-in shop. Keep the visit inside. Cold gray Decembers. Snow turns to slush. Radiators. Coats on hall hooks. A wreath on the apartment door. Wind off the river. We do not promise a white Christmas.
Park Slope, Midtown, Astoria, Riverdale, Great Kills, Garden City, Huntington — say the place. We do not guess the borough from a first name.
After you send it
Sean Michaels reads the form and calls back when a window can be held. If you already know the hour, skip the wait and call. Hire Santa NY is this phone and this form. No named venues as clients. No prices on this page. We quote on the call. A Midtown floor, a Park Slope parlor, an Astoria walk-up, and a Huntington den all start here. Have the zip. Have a cell that answers.
Call with the date and the door. Call (347) 990-2461
