All the children begin to believe that he is the real Santa, with the exception of Dorey 's six - year - old daughter, Susan (Mara Wilson). Dorey 's boyfriend and neighbor, Bryan Bedford (Dylan McDermott), does his best to convince Susan to believe. While being babysat one night by Kris, she shares her Christmas wish with him. She would like a dad, a house (used every year for the Cole 's catalog photoshoot) and a baby brother. He asks if she would begin to believe in Santa if she got all those things. She agrees that she would.
