With Tier 2 restrictions in place, Santa and his bubble of elves will spread festive cheer while following the rule of six.
The Norfolk Broads Lions Club and Great Yarmouth Lions Club have both confirmed they will be dusting off their sleighs and delighting families on their doorsteps.
The two clubs, which cover separate areas of the borough, have both adopted different approaches and accept takings will likely be down.
Stephen Pyzer, president of the Broads club which covers the northern villages including Caister, Ormesby, Martham, Hemsby, and Winterton, said the normal practice of alerting people by knocking on doors would be abandoned, adding that Santa had taken to Facebook for the first time instead.
People wanting to know about a particular route can click to say they are "interested" and receive updates by social media.
But with some tweaks and changes they will be taking to the road, albeit later than usual.
It means online donation pages have been set up with the Yarmouth club doing away with bucket shaking altogether.
To make it Covid-safe Santa will be accompanied by his driver with four helpers walking a safe distance apart wearing masks.
Mr Pyzer said "just a wave" was in order this year and that it was more about spreading festive cheer than asking for money.
The Broads tour usually raises up to £6,000 for local good causes.
The charity sleigh run will visit the following locations and hopes to catch up with Winterton and Hemsby, which would have seen Santa last week.
