This Christmas season, The Santa Claus Fellowship and Traditional Arts Today are joining hearts to host a special event designed especially for children with special needs and their families.

On Saturday, December 6, families are invited to enjoy a calm, unhurried visit with Santa Claus in a setting designed to be welcoming, comfortable, and full of wonder. Each private, 15-minute visit gives children time and space to meet Santa in their own way—without crowds, bright lights, or noise.

“For a few moments, we pause the world around us,” said Timothy Etter, Founder of The Santa Claus Fellowship. “Every child should have the chance to feel the wonder of Christmas in a way that feels calm and comforting. It’s not about the photos—it’s about the laughter, the warmth, and the little moments that stay with a family long after the season ends.”

Traditional Arts Today shares that vision. Together, the two nonprofits have created an atmosphere that feels more like home than a photo set—one where families can slow down and experience the heart of Christmas.

The event will be held in The Carriage House at Traditional Arts Today in Ferdinand, Indiana.

Visits are free to attend, though reservations are required to ensure each child has their own dedicated time with Santa.
