SantaCon 2025 New York
A general view of SantaCon participants in Manhattan, New York, United States, on December 13, 2025, shows the event, born as a satire of holiday consumerism, evolving into a global tradition. SantaCon 2025 takes place at the intersection of Broadway and 39th Street, reaffirming New York as the epicenter of the season's largest and most colorful urban celebration. SantaCon, which begins in 1994 in San Francisco as a satire of holiday consumerism, is now a global tradition that in 2025 once again transforms New York into the epicenter of a massive, colorful urban celebration, where thousands mark the holiday season with humor, irreverence, and collective spirit.
