December 22, 2025Santa came and handed out gifts we had for the kids then he read us all The Night Before Christmas. Afterwards he sat for pictures. He was great with everyone, his hat and outfit are beautiful. Highly recommend!

December 4, 2025My 4 yo family member loves when Santa arrived. She answered the door and was shocked to see him. She was very antsy, but he done well with her! I highly recommend.

People can expect a fun and memorable time. They can also expect punctuality and professionalism with every stop 417 Santa makes!
I've been playing Jolly St. Nick since Christmas 2010. I help with delivery of presents (per client's requests), in store appearances, read "The Night Before Christmas" to children, pose for photo opportunities and much more! I simply love interacting with each and every person. I never know what to expect when it comes to the children and over the years I've received several drawings and little tokens that I keep as a reminder of why I do this! I thoroughly enjoy being a part of everyone's holiday season and only want to help add a little extra joy!
I do like to be advised ahead of time of what I will be doing for each visit. This helps me plan accordingly. I don't currently require any special needs. Just a group ready to have a memorable visit!

The biggest influence for this stems from a time Santa came to visit me when I was in the fifth grade. That moment stuck with me into my adult life. In 2010, I had the chance, along with some friends (my elves) to help a single parent struggling with the holidays. And ever since that Christmas, I've been committed to playing Santa because I know how much joy and happiness it can bring to others.
