Outstanding

Santa Chris was awesome. He did great with the kids. Patient with the little ones that was not to sure about Santa. But we did end up getting good shots of the two. The kids loved decorating cookies with Santa Chris and he made it fun for the little ones. Overall Santa Chris made an awesome memories that these kids will have forever

Magical experience

Stanta visited my children virtually the first Christmas season of the pandemic. We were all disappointed we wouldn't get to see him in person, but the virtual visit turned out to be even more special! They were so delighted that Santa called them personally. It was so special watching their eyes light up. Santa was so thoughtful and made it such a great and personal experience. Best Santa visit to date!

Although we were not able to be together in person, it was so much fun welcoming your family to the North Pole (virtually)! Thank you for celebrating and keeping the Christmas Spirit during the pandemic. You all will forever be on the Nice List!

Perfect Santa

Santa talked to my girls over a virtual video call during pandemic. They loved every minute of the call! Santa was just perfect - from the way he spoke, to his laugh, to the things he asked. The experience was magical for my daughters!!

Best Santa Ever

Santa visited each of 4 of my grandchildren and every visit was a special and personalized experience. Santa was flexible and responsive to each child and did not use a script allowing each visit to be unique. The background, lighting and costuming were beautiful. This was the best Christmas gift i could have given them.

Best Santa Ever!

My two young boys were ecstatic to meet Santa but wary of the video chat; nevertheless, Celebrate with Claus made the entire experience magical! My kids loved hearing about Santa’s elves and truly believed he was Santa.

Influences and inspiration

Santa Claus Oath:

I will seek knowledge to be well versed in the mysteries of bringing Christmas cheer and good will to all the people that I encounter in my journeys and travels.

I shall be dedicated to hearing the secret dreams of both children and adults.

I understand that the true and only gift I can give, as Santa, is myself.

I acknowledge that some of the requests I will hear will be difficult and sad. I know in these difficulties there lays an opportunity to bring a spirit of warmth, understanding and compassion.

I know the “real reason for the season” and know that I am blessed to be able to be a part of it.

I realize that I belong to a brotherhood and will be supportive, honest and show fellowship to my peers.

I promise to use “my” powers to create happiness, spread love and make fantasies come to life in the true and sincere tradition of the Santa Claus Legend.

I pledge myself to these principles as a descendent of St. Nicholas the gift giver of Myra.

Setup requirements

Reserved parking next to the entrance that Santa will be using.

A sturdy armless chair (dining room chair) or bench capable of holding 300 lbs.

Santa's suit is very thick and heavy. A room as cool as possible (65-70 degrees) while still being comfortable for guests.

An assistant to help with families and children.

If Santa is distributing gifts, make sure gifts are ready and in one 30-gallon trash bag. Santa will transfer the gifts into his "official" Santa Bag.

A bottle of room temperature water would be most appreciated.
