What parents say
We booked the most fantastic magician. The kids were in absolute stitches.
Oli the magician was amazing! So great with the kids, so funny, and he had all the adults scratching their heads in confusion trying to figure it out.
We had Maggie for face painting she was fantastic—the kids adored her, she worked beautifully and quickly, and was such a cheerful presence at the party.
How much does a Santa performer cost per visit in New York?
Typically $100–$300 per event for a home visit (The Bash, 2026). Those are other companies' published rates: no New York Santa performer has listed a Yombu rate yet, and you always see the exact total before you pay.
How many Santa performers are available in New York?
Yombu is onboarding Santa performers in New York now. Tell us your date and we'll match you with the right vetted local pro — usually within about two hours.
Do Santa performers near me travel to Astoria, Brooklyn and Flushing?
Yes — Astoria, Brooklyn and Flushing are inside the New York area Yombu covers. We're onboarding New York Santa performers now, and we match you with one whose travel radius reaches your address.
How far in advance should I book a Santa performer in New York?
Request a December date in November. December only has a few Saturdays to go around, and plenty of other families are chasing the same short list; a weeknight or a date later in the month tends to stay open much closer to the day. Yombu is still onboarding New York Santa performers, so we match these parties by hand and more notice means more choice; last-minute is still worth asking.
What should I expect from Santa visits in New York?
In New York, a Santa visit is typically a 20–30 minute booking: a full-suit Santa visit with a story, photos and a gift moment. A Santa performer arrives fully in character — real or classic-style beard, full red suit — for a visit built around one moment: the birthday child or family believing, even for twenty minutes, that Santa actually came. Visits typically run 20–30 minutes for a home visit, longer for a group event, with time for a story, a gift handout if you provide one, and photos.
How long does a Santa visit last?
A home visit usually runs 20 to 30 minutes — long enough for a story, a gift handout if you provide the gifts, and photos. Group events and holiday parties book longer.
What age is a Santa visit best for?
Roughly ages 2 to 8, the believing years. It's especially memorable around 3 to 6, when kids can hold a conversation with Santa and are still fully convinced he's real. Older siblings usually enjoy playing along and the photos just as much.
