The big man in red will get back to greeting boys and girls at Macy’s flagship locations across the country this holiday season.

After taking a break last year due to the pandemic, Macy’s Santaland webpage says Santa Claus will be greeting shoppers who visit flagship locations in New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

But there is a tweak to the visiting process this year. To let Santa know what is on your list, a reservation should be made ahead of time online.

If you can’t visit Santa in person, a virtual option will become available beginning Friday, November 26 until Friday, December 24.
