Santa Owen was the best we have ever had! He was happy and focused on our 3 yr old who was overjoyed. Santa was animated and believable while reading the night before Christmas to Bo! Everyone in the room loved the moment! Thank you so much for making Christmas!

We had a great experience. He was friendly, engaging with children and adults. He sticks to his craft. He’s dressed amazingly well and overall a 10/10! He also gave the kids candy canes. When we offered him food he said he didn’t want to do it in front of the families and children as it may be odd, just another sign of his sticking to the character all for the kids! So happy. Will recommend and use again!
