Put your team together and explore the streets of downtown Sanford, following cryptic clues, answering questions along the way, and competing against the clock.

June 24 – Christmas is Coming is returning to Kosair for Kids

The week of June 24-28 Santa, Mrs. Claus and a few elves pack up the sleigh and head to Kosair for Kids for a week of celebrating Christmas in June. They hope to provide experiences for 70+ families and need a bit of help getting there. Because of a generous donor, the cost per family this year is just $100. Please consider joining the team of Sponsoring Elves to make this trip possible. Besides a jolly feeling because you are helping kids and families, each day you will also receive an update of all that took place-complete with pictures.

July 26-27 – School for Santas

Join us for this 2 day workshop with Santa Tim Connaghan (aka Toys for Tots Santa/Hollywood Parade Santa). This school is designed for all Christmas hearted people who want to learn how to be the best Santa/Mrs. Claus/elf they can be.

Visit https://school4santas.com for more information and to register.

OUR MISSION

To provide Christmas experiences 365 days a year for children and their families who are battling life threatening illnesses.

Programs

Below are the different experiences we offer as we help families create memories and discover

the hope and joy of Christmas, 365 days a year.

Christmas is Coming

This is the mobile expression of Christmas Dreams. It is a 40 foot trailer that has been converted into Santa’s “mobile home.” We can provide this experience anywhere a 40 foot trailer can fit—hospitals, homes, parking lots, etc.

Inside children discover Mrs. Claus’ kitchen, a Tinker Shop and Santa’s man cave.

• Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen—children make Santa’s favorite cookie with Mrs. Claus’ help
• Tinker Shop—children create a toy using a variety of materials and their imagination
• Santa’s Man Cave—children get to spend a special one on one visit with the Big Man himself. They can try on Santa’s boots and coat, share their lists, read stories and more.

Outside the experience, children can play reindeer games with Christmas Dreams elves, drive a sled, and have a snowball fight inside a giant snow globe.

Other Experiences

Flight to the North Pole—partnering with other charities to provide a magical experience at the North Pole with Santa, presents and more

Decorate hospital rooms—this includes waiting areas and patient rooms

Hand-made pillowcases—delivered to children undergoing treatment

Home visits—this includes visits with Santa, as well as decorations, gifts and even a meal if desired

Christmas in July party—an offering of tropical holiday fun

The Big Dream

OUR IMPACT

What if you could forget you were sick and just enjoy being a kid?  What if you could experience a bit of Christmas hope, joy and magic in the midst of the struggle even if just for a moment? 

According to Make a Wish “wishes (or in our case “dreams”) can increase the physical and emotional well-being of these kids, and create happy, lifelong memories. In fact, wish experiences are as much about the days that follow, as they are about the wish itself – because the impact of a wish can last forever.  A wish experience can truly change a child’s life”

That is our goal as we make the Christmas Dreams of children come true.  We help families create memories to last a lifetime, we bring cheer and instill hope to those who so desperately need it.

GET INVOLVED

There are many ways you can be an elf and help Christmas Dreams come true.
