Get your holiday(s) on! – TODAY at the Bristol Santa House

The Bristol Santa House is a family-friendly holiday destination full of joy, whimsy, and nostalgia, where the season comes alive through interactive experiences, live performances, and Hallmark-worthy moments.

The Bristol Santa House is a unique place for children of all ages and abilities where they can share holiday wishes, drop off a letter to Santa Claus, or even visit with the head elf himself, without regard for physical, mental, or economic challenges.

To celebrate their grand opening, the Santa House worked with the Bristol Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary’s to collect items for their annual Kick Off To Christmas Community Aid Drive. They are still in need of the following items:

• New unwrapped toys
• New hats and mitten sets
• New pajamas (any size)
• Gift cards and monetary donations

“Every child deserves to experience the joy of Christmas regardless of circumstance,” stated Michael Rielly, founder and chief merriment officer of the James D. Rielly Foundation. “Sadly, many children with special needs never have the opportunity to meet with Santa, and some families simply cannot afford Christmas gifts.”

The Santa House will be stocked with new unwrapped toys and clothing items so that children in need can receive a gift during the holiday season, free of charge. The James D. Rielly Foundation and other charitable organizations have donated toys and clothing items.

The Bristol Santa House’s goal is “to create cherished and lasting memories for families and children by providing an immersive Christmas experience”.

Visits with Santa Claus are always FREE! Wait times may vary. Arrive at least 30 minutes prior
