Where To See Santa In Chappaqua/Mount Kisco This Christmas Season

CHAPPAQUA/MOUNT KISCO, NY — Santa Claus will be back in Chappaqua/Mount Kisco this holiday season after a couple of years of COVID-19 restrictions that made it difficult for kids to crawl up on his lap and make their case that they’ve been good boys and girls over the last year.

Visits and pictures with Santa are at the heart of many families’ holiday traditions, but the coronavirus pandemic gave them a lump of coal. Malls and other places took social distancing measures in both 2020 and 2021 to help contain the spread of the virus, moving Santa meet-ups largely online.
