And we wanted to share some exciting Santa news!

We’re lucky to have a few new jolly faces joining us for Santa photos this year! Please help us give a big, warm welcome to Santa Kevin and Santa Ned! Welcoming back Santa Bradley & Mrs. Claus and Santa Bill!

You can read all about them here: https://www.williamsburgdowntown.com/santa-team

A very special thank-you to Santa Ron for all the joy and magic you’ve brought over the years. We wish you the happiest, jolliest retirement! You’ll be missed!

And our dear Santa Jim B has also retired, but we have hopes that if we need a backup if one of our Santa’s gets called to the North Pole he’ll step in! He’s the best, thank you Santa Jim B!

When booking your Santa photo session, you’ll notice a Santa’s name listed next to your chosen time. While we do our very best to keep everything running smoothly, please keep in mind that our Santa’s schedules may occasionally change. After all, they’re very busy this time of year, making sure those reindeer get to the Stryker Center right on time!
