Santa Claus is coming to town — take a number, kids!
In a first since it began the tradition 155 years ago, Macy’s Herald Square will require reservations to get lap time with the world’s most famous department store St. Nick.
“Santa’s a popular guy, so the wait times to meet him have been quite long in previous years,” Macy’s explained on its website. “The new reservation system is designed to minimize this by scheduling visitors to join the line at the time of your choice, allowing for the best possible holiday experience.”
To mingle with Kringle, kids will have to register for a pre-selected time, from 30 minutes to five days ahead of time. Slots are subject to availability, and existing reservations can’t be changed online.
And forget being nice — all that matters to this Santa is punctuality.
