As he always does, Santa made his grand entrance at the end of the Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City on Thursday, but Saturday, he made possibly an even grander entrance in the Capital Region.

Skydiving Santa and 3 of his elves descended upon Ellms Christmas Trees in Ballston Spa, hundreds of families looking on to greet Father Christmas in all his glory. The first time he's done it since the pandemic hit.

Lucy and Fernando: “I saw a lot of amazing stuff happen, I mostly liked how they did the flips in the air, it was cool.”

Garth Ellms, Owner of Ellms Christmas Trees:

“Santa jumping on to the farm with three elves, it’s a little unique versus going to the mall and getting your picture with Santa. This is a true experience. You’re also out at a farm, you're supporting local businesses, supporting local farms, and it’s just a whole different way to see Santa flying out of the sky. Maybe it’s his sled, maybe it’s a plane."

Next for Ellms Christmas tree farm, Trees for Troops pick up on Monday at 9 am, providing thousands of free trees to military members and their families.
