The Gold Standard of Santa Clauses — A True Showstopper!

If you are even thinking about hiring a Santa for a corporate event or holiday party, stop looking now. Chris Clause is the real deal — and that’s not an exaggeration! The BEST!

We hired Chris for our Corporate Holiday Party, and he was hands down the best Santa, and honestly the best performer, I have ever hired. He showed up early, fully prepared, and completely in character from the moment he arrived.

Chris is an impressive 6’5” with real hair, a real beard, and a legitimate, movie-quality Santa suit. Nothing about him felt like a costume. He looks, sounds, and acts exactly like Santa. The “Ho Ho Ho,” the mannerisms, the presence — everything was spot on and incredibly authentic.

He brought a classic Santa sack, took countless photos with our guests, and worked the room effortlessly. What really stood out was how well he interacted with adults at a corporate party. He was engaging, funny, professional, and completely natural. He even helped hand out awards and gifts, which elevated the entire experience.

Chris stayed in character the entire time and was on his feet the whole event with incredible energy and enthusiasm. His professionalism and work ethic are unmatched. With 22 years of experience, it shows — he knows exactly how to command a room, engage a crowd, and deliver a flawless performance.

Multiple guests commented that he looked like he belonged in a movie. That’s how authentic and high-quality his performance is.

Bottom line: Chris Clause is worth every single dollar. I would hire him again without hesitation and plan to bring him back for future events. If you want your holiday party to be unforgettable, this is the Santa to book.

Do not hesitate. Just hire him. You will not find a better Santa anywhere. 5 STAR Rating and BEST!

What to expect

I love the authenticity that I give to SANTA being I work around animals a lot and I enjoy dealing with the public on a daily basis to boot. From my size 6'4" and 55" girth and size 15 Boots I do fill a room with laughter and chat. I have for the last 13 years preformed at several apartment complexes and schools. And have a way of getting a shot with unsuspecting children.

I travel with my Reindeer bag that holds my books and SANTAS travel supplies including a glowing book.

About

Started working with animals since I was a young boy grew up in the woodlands and railroad tracks of Indiana. After that I joined the Military and worked with K-9s, upon leaving that part of my life I got into Bathing 15-25 dogs and cats a day at Sissie's Pet Salon in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I later went on to work at Ft. Wayne Animal Care and Control and became an Officer for several years.

My loving wife and I moved to Arizona in 2000 where her mother was and she nurtured her during her later years. During that time my wife started volunteering to sick injured and baby animals. Over the last Several years we have nurtured over 500 critters of various breeds and sizes back to health.

It was during part of this time the Red Suit came calling to me in 2005...

Every year since I have found the smiles of children and adults alike to be beneficial to my heart and health and look forward to continuing it into my future years.

Hope to see you out there and remember.. The critters are my best way to get information on how good you have truly been.

They carry more information than the internet.

Additional booking notes

Just need a comfortable place to go not too close to the fireplace is preferable.
