Planners who want a professional Santa for hire in New York start here: homes, offices, schools, photos, and the add-ons, then the phone.
Homes, offices, and the clock
Santa home visits are the apartment, the brownstone, and the Long Island house. Corporate party Santa is the Midtown floor, the Financial District dining room, and the hotel hour. School and church Santa is the gym, the cafeteria, and the fellowship hall. Each one is minutes you booked, not an open house. Sean Michaels takes the calls. Start with Santa home visits or corporate party Santa if you already know the room type.
A Park Slope parlor, a Hudson Yards suite, and a Forest Hills gym all work if we know the door. Doorman buildings need a name at the desk. Walk-ups need the floor. Long Island driveways in Manhasset and Huntington need the house number lit. We do not promise a parking space. We do not promise how he travels. We quote the window.
Beard, photos, and add-ons
Real bearded Santa is the close-photo look. A Santa Claus impersonator is the actor already in character at the elevator. Santa photos are the tree, the path, and a seat if you asked us to help arrange a chair locally — we do not own a chair in New York. Mrs. Claus and elves join when you want more in the room. Santa still leads. See real bearded Santa or Santa photos when the camera is the point.
Traditional suit is the lower-cost option. Real beard costs more. Say which. Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island each have their own page when the pin is that place. The Bronx and Staten Island book through this desk on the same phone.
Five boroughs and Long Island
Manhattan from Inwood to Battery Park City. Brooklyn from Greenpoint to Sheepshead Bay. Queens from Astoria and Long Island City out through Bayside, Flushing, and the Rockaways. Bronx stops in Riverdale, Pelham Bay, Throgs Neck, Morris Park, and City Island. Staten Island in St. George, Great Kills, Tottenville, and Todt Hill. Long Island means Nassau and Suffolk — Garden City, Great Neck, Massapequa, Huntington, Smithtown — not Long Island City, which is Queens.
December is cold and often gray. Snow turns to slush at the curb. Radiators clank. Coats on hall hooks. A wreath on the apartment door. Keep the visit inside.
How to start
Have the date, the address, indoor or outdoor, headcount, and the booking type. December Saturdays go first. A Tuesday in early December is easier. Professional Santa for hire in New York is this list, then the call.
