Watch Santa Camp

A beloved role model and cultural icon, Santa Claus is usually depicted as a jolly, portly, bearded -- and white -- man. Directed by Nick Sweeney, this heartwarming documentary spotlights the movement to tackle Santa's "diversity problem" through the efforts of the New England Santa Society, whose dedicated members train new Santas (and his increasingly significant other, Mrs. Claus) at their annual camp in New Hampshire. Focusing on the camp's groundbreaking 2021 season, the film chronicles the introduction of a Black Santa, a transgender Santa and a Santa with a disability -- each with their own surprising Santa origin story. Bold, funny and empowering, these diverse Santas challenge the status quo all while doing what Santa does best -- bringing joy to children of all ages.

Santa Camp is a 2022 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 32 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.5.
