Santa in the City - Santa Photos

Sydney’s most magical Christmas experience is back for its third year, as Santa Claus once again makes his grand return to the heart of the city. With his sleigh freshly polished and reindeer ready for take-off, Santa will soon take his place beside the iconic Martin Place Christmas tree—the centrepiece of Sydney’s festive celebrations.

After two unforgettable seasons bringing joy, connection, and cherished memories, Santa’s House has become a much-loved destination for families, friends, and even four-legged companions. This year, the magic only grows stronger. Santa’s elves will land ahead of Santa in Sydney and will work around the clock to add new surprises, and a touch of Christmas magic to his Martin Place home.

From Sunday, 23 November through to Christmas Eve, Santa invites families, friends, work groups, and even pets to share in the festive joy before he departs on his world tour. Step inside his welcoming house to capture a magical photo and enjoy a truly unforgettable Christmas experience

Martin Place will once again transform into Sydney’s ultimate Christmas destination, glowing with the city’s tallest Christmas tree, lively markets, uplifting choirs, roaming entertainers, and of course, the festive wonder of Santa’s House. Whether it’s your first visit or is becoming part of your annual family tradition, this year promises to be more spectacular than ever.
