About New Year Stitch
Stitch arrives in a cosy Santa coat and hat — blue, chaotic, six-limbed and unmistakable, in a detailed, photo-ready costume kids recognise before he’s fully through the door. From the very first hello, every child is pulled in for hugs, high-fives and that one perfect picture.
He’s a genuinely funny character to put in a Santa hat, and the kids get the joke immediately. Stitch was built to wreck things; dressing him for the holidays is asking for trouble, and he delivers. He gets into the tree. He inspects the presents. He is caught and looks entirely innocent about it, every time.
The visit is fully interactive: he leads holiday games, dances and contests tuned to your guests’ ages, with all the mischief the character is famous for. He copies whatever the kids do, badly. He hides. He hugs when nobody expects it. There’s no stillness for the whole hour.
Then, because he’s Stitch, there’s a moment that lands soft — ohana means family, nobody gets left behind, and the birthday child gets thirty quiet seconds of it before the chaos restarts. It gets the parents more than the kids.
Perfect for New Year parties, Christmas celebrations and winter birthdays across Chicago. He works beautifully solo, and pairs naturally with Santa or New Year Labubu for a fuller festive lineup.
