Who’s that coming down your street? It’s Santa Claus and his cheerful elf, making a special stop just for Cupertino families! Santa is taking a break from the North Pole to ride around in his one-of-a-kind Santamobile, spreading joy, snapping photos, and sharing sweet treats along the way.

  • Greet your family with festive cheer

  • Pose for outdoor photos

  • Listen to holiday wishes

  • Hand out candy canes and a small gift
    (Families are welcome to provide additional treats or gifts if desired)
