Cherry Hill Programs, the industry leader in experiential photography, is partnering once again with Autism Speaks, the nation’s leading autism advocacy organization, to bring back Santa Cares, a beloved nationwide sensory-friendly holiday tradition designed to make visiting Santa accessible for all families.

Since launching in 2015, the partnership has hosted more than 7,750 sensory-friendly Santa and Bunny Magic events across North America, welcoming over 104,000 families and raising $2 million in donations to advance advocacy, research, and resources for the autism community.

“Santa Cares is about inclusion, joy, and creating space for all families to make holiday memories in a way that works for them,” said Mary Shoemaker, Director of Marketing, Cherry Hill Programs. “For 10 years, we’ve seen how meaningful this tradition has been, and we’re honored to continue it alongside Autism Speaks.”

Santa Cares offers families the opportunity to enjoy the magic of a Santa visit in a calmer, more supportive environment. Events are held outside of regular venue hours, with reduced sound, adjusted lighting, smaller crowds, and shorter wait times to minimize sensory triggers. Santa and seasonal staff receive dedicated training led by Autism Speaks to ensure families are met with understanding and support.

“For many families, Santa Cares is the first time they can experience the simple joy of a holiday tradition without worry, and that’s what makes this partnership so special,” said Jose Dell’Aglio, Senior Director of Nationwide Community Engagement Operations at Autism Speaks. “Through our joint work, thousands of families have felt seen, supported, and included during the holidays and that’s worth celebrating.”

How families can participate:

• Santa Cares Events: Sunday, December 7, 2025, at hundreds of locations across the United States.
• Santa Magic Sessions: Daily through December 24, 2025, including themed events such as Baby’s First, Pajama Parties, and Ugly Sweater Nights.
• Booking: Families can view participating locations and reserve times at WhereIsSanta.com.

Guests may add a donation to Autism Speaks when booking online or in person. Every dollar raised supports research, resources, and advocacy to help people on the autism spectrum live healthy, fulfilling lives.
