Did you know ...

THE KRINGLE FAMILY CHANGED CHRISTMAS FOREVER

Christopher Kringle was born in New York in 1900, with no idea he was descended from St. Nicholas of Myra – the first “Santa” in history.

As Christopher uncovers his past, he’s pulled into a struggle over hope, generosity, and the very meaning of Christmas.


His choices will change December forever.

Manhattan, New York — once called New Amsterdam until 1665

CHRISTOPHER KRINGLE WAS BORN IN NEW YORK CITY ON 1/1/1900

Santa’s dad, Luke Kringle, once found an old map of Manhattan. It showed the northern wall of wooden posts called Wall Street — a name that never changed.


The wide road running north to south was Broadway. Still there. Still famous.


Who knew a boy from the Lower East Side would one day change Christmas forever?

WHERE THE KRINGLE FAMILY LIVED — WHERE SANTA'S STORY BEGINS

Just north of where the old Dutch fort once stood, this neighborhood became home to thousands of immigrant families. The Kringles lived in a tenement on Bayard Street—half a block west of Mulberry. This is where young Christopher learned kindness, and where his story—and Wally’s—truly began.

"I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph."


— Shirley Temple, 1934

"I'm sorry I asked Miss Temple for her autograph. I will never do that again."


— Chris Kringle, 1935
