Santa was amazing! He was sweet and professional with kids of all ages (and the elderly kids too). He was patient with the scared children and even gave presents from his sack of toys to each child (that the parents brought presents for). He took his time with every family to ensure we had good photos. I would highly recommend for any event that you need Santa magic.
Response from Santa Chattanooga - Santa Matt Hollis:
Thank you very much for allowing me to take part in your community event. I had such a great time! The “train ride” to the event location is one to be remembered!
Merry Christmas to you and everyone involved!
He was absolutely magical and an absolute treasure. He had a warm demeanor which made even the most scared of kids love him. Wonderful story teller, beautifully dressed and is truly a dream Santa. We will for sure repeat his visit every year.

Response from Santa Chattanooga - Santa Matt Hollis:
It was my pleasure sharing in this magical Christmas memory with you and your family! Merry Christmas!
Santa Matt was Absolutely amazing!! We will definitely be calling next year! The kids loved every minute! (The parents did too) Several parents said they got chills when he Santa Matt walked through the door! So magical!
I could not be happier with Santa Matt. This was my first time hiring a Santa and he made it so much better than I imagined! My grandkids loved him and i was so happy to see their smiles! The hugs you get to witness with Santa are memories I will always have. Not much better than little arms hugging Santa. I am so happy I did this and thank you Santa Matt for being such a great Santa! I have no doubt I will be hiring him again next year!
Response from Santa Chattanooga - Santa Matt Hollis:
Thank you so much! It was my pleasure sharing this special moment with you and your family. Merry Christmas!
Santa Matt provided a magical evening for my grandchildren, one we will never forget!!
Santa Matt was wonderful. We has about 50 people (22 kids) and everyone had a blast. Communication prior was great and he was right on time! Kids and adults enjoyed their time with him.
Matt is amazing and the best looking Santa I’ve ever seen! I hired him for photos & for a work Christmas Party- he did not disappoint! I would definitely recommend him for your Santa event!
For just a little while last night I went to the land of Elves and toys. Santa talked to the children and answered questions, sang a song, told stories, took pictures with the kids and the adults. It was magical to watch all the kids come sit around him and listen to him tell the "Twas the night before Christmas" tale and when it was written. His arrival was right on time and fun.
Matt was a delight to work with. We filmed a holiday video with him, and he was such a good sport. He looked and sounded perfect and took direction well. We were so blessed to have him as our Santa!
I’ve worked with Matt photographing events. He is the real deal and both children and adults feel his genuine enjoyment of his Santa roll. Even shy children quickly warm up to have their photograph made with him. He also understands a photographers staging needs. Hire him, you will have glowing reviews to share and your guest will be amazed with his sincere professionalism.
I have already booked him for a Christmas event.

I saw this Santa at the Chattanooga Community Kitchen event. He was so sweet and engaging with the little ones it warmed my heart. Even the young adults and everyone seemed like they were having a good time! Watching the kids run up to him and talk to him was special.

We want your visit with Santa to be memorable. Here are a few tips to help make your visit with Santa more enjoyable.
- Reserve a special parking place for Santa close to the entrance of the event.
- Provide a cell phone number of the host and have it turned on awaiting the arrival of Santa. He will call or text once he arrives at the location of the event.
- Host should greet Santa upon his arrival at the event. If presents are to be handed out, this is the opportunity to load them into Santa's bag.
- Santa loves to make a "Grand Entrance". Have everyone participate in a common activity, like singing, when Santa is ready to enter.
- Place Santa's chair in front of a nice holiday background for pictures making sure that there is plenty of room for group shots. Remember that Santa's suit can be very warm, so please don't place the chair too close to a heat source.
- If payment is due, place it in a Christmas card so you don't have to hand Santa a check or cash and risk the children witnessing the hand-off.
- When Santa is ready to leave, keep the children all together and occupied to give Santa a few minutes to slip away without being noticed.

Santa will make a grand entrance and will greet the guests as they eat breakfast. He will then make his chair available for great looking photographs.

I frequently quip that I grew up in a “Leave it to Beaver” home. Some of my fondest memories about my upbringing are about the love of Christmas that was shared to me by my parents. From a young age, I would lay under the Christmas tree, listen to Bing Crosby on the record player, and wonder what Santa Claus would bring this year! Like many kids, my list was long and my wishes were big, so it was always fun to see what the big guy in the red suit would leave under the tree when he came to our house on Christmas Eve. I’ve never out grown that sense of wonder and amazement that was Christmas to me…and now I love sharing that same sense of wonder and amazement with others.
Santa likes to have a nice, sturdy chair to sit in during his visit. Please keep in mind the chair's appearance for photos that you may wish to take.
Santa's wool suit can be very warm when worn indoors. A small fan is always welcomed.
