Is This the Right Santa Experience for You?
Sensory-Friendly Cookies with Santa
Step into the magic of the season with our Sensory-Friendly Cookies with Santa experience, specially designed for children on the Autism spectrum or those with other sensory processing needs. This calm and welcoming environment allows each child to enjoy an unhurried, personalized visit with the jolly man in red—without the crowds, loud sounds, or bright lights of typical holiday settings.
Set in a cozy, gently lit space, your child will have a brief visit with Santa Claus, offering plenty of time to ease in, feel comfortable, and share their wishes at their own pace. To help create a peaceful experience for everyone, we also limit the number of guests in the lobby area, reducing noise and stimulation while families wait.
Bring your camera to capture the smiles, joy, and meaningful connection—these are the heartwarming memories you’ll treasure for years to come. After their visit, each child receives a freshly baked cookie to savor the moment.
Whether you’re a parent building sensory-friendly traditions or a caregiver seeking a joyful and inclusive outing, Cookies with Santa at Ford House offers a magical experience tailored to your child’s needs—wrapped in warmth, care, and holiday cheer.
