Mall Santas have been around for over a century, with the first one appearing in the 1800s. There is a slight debate about who the first mall Santa was, but there is no argument about the monumental figures who paved the way for many Santas to come.
1861: Santa makes his debut visiting children in department stores at Macy’s on 34th Street in New York. This continued for 159 years straight, all the way until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, which affected the 2020 and 2021 holiday seasons for Santas in Macy’s.
