Santa Claus is Coming to (Bucks) Town(s) in 2024!

Whether you're just hoping for a quick selfie with the jolly old man or you're looking for a more immersive holiday experience, let us help you find the best Santas in Bucks.

Santa is making his list (and he’s checking it twice) and at the very top are all the good little boys and girls of Bucks County this holiday season! That’s right, Santa is busy making his rounds and he’s using the Delaware River as his point of reference.

Whether you’re just hoping for a quick selfie with the jolly old man (check out Santa’s House in Doylestown) in the bright red suit or you’re looking for a more immersive holiday experience (like Shady Brook Farm’s Breakfast with Santa or ), we’ve gathered a list of where to find Santa in Bucks County so grab those selfie sticks and let’s go!

Ongoing Events:
