Santa’s Secret, an innovative and immersive experience, returns to The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards this holiday season. In the two-hour spectacle, guests meander through a winter wonderland, exploring seven exciting installations, on their way to the North Pole. Along the winding path, guests may encounter snow angels, gingerbread ladies, rugged lumberjacks and an ice queen trapped in a life-sized snow globe!

The journey leads to Santa's Secret speakeasy where guests are first treated to the sounds of a five-piece band with lead vocals by Inyang Bassey, followed by a variety show featuring a mix of ballet, burlesque and unique, jaw-dropping acts. The hilarious drag "ice" queen, Shequida, hosts and promised that all of Santa’s wildest secrets will be revealed!

“There is no place more exciting than New York City for Christmas,” says the show’s producer, Brandon Voss of Voss Events. “Santa’s Secret combines the splendor of 5th Avenue with the glamour of downtown nightlife. We specifically chose to produce Santa’s Secret at Hudson Yards because it is the city’s most exciting new neighborhood and is quickly becoming the cultural center of Manhattan.”
