Santa was amazing! We had a great time with him at our Santa Spectacular Holiday Show. The kids absolutely adored him and his interactions were so genuine.

Response from Old Town Santa:
Thank you Annie! So much fun! I enjoyed watching the children perform! I loved the interaction with the children, their families, and your team! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your Santa Spectacular Holiday Show!❤️
Our residents were so pleased with having Santa here for our Christmas party! He talked to everyone, helped pass out gifts and brought smiles to everyone's faces.
Would definitely recommend and will keep in mind for future projects.

Response from Old Town Santa:
Thank you for the kind words Carmella! A special thank you to you and the whole staff. I could see the care and love you all have for your residents! Thank you for spreading Christmas Joy!
Merry Christmas!!
We got the absolute cutest picture with Santa (peep his profile pic 😍) and I could not be more excited! Him and Mrs. Claus were so patient (I took soooo many trying to get the perfect one) and they were both so kind. They just loved my daughter so much it was adorable watching the interactions! We will make sure to find where to meet them every year!!

Response from Old Town Santa:
Carolyn thank you for the kind words! We do just love that little girl, such a joy! I can’t look at my profile pic without smiling!❤️
Old town Santa is the best Santa, his details from his sleigh to the jingle bells he brought in for all the students to sing a long with him was absolutely incredible.
He also was our Santa during the town's Christmas tree lighting where he was as equally amazing! Thank you for spreading love and kindness everywhere you go!

Response from Old Town Santa:
Thank you Holly! I am so blessed! I receive as much love and kindness back as I try to share!
We were so impressed with Santa’s attention to detail and dedication to ensuring each kiddo had the chance to chat, hug, ask questions and take pictures. We loved that he called prior to the visit to get to know each of the kids, tell us what to expect and allowed us to incorporate anything else we wanted to add. He was kind, funny and really showed his love for his visit. We are so thankful!

What to Expect
When I perform as Santa my main focus is to make it a "Santa Experience".
I am more interested in interacting with the audience whether it be a few, or many, than just sitting in the chair for photos for hours, although there is a time and place for "chair time" photo sessions (which I still take time to have fun to keep a festive atmosphere!).
In a large group such as a tree lighting or a parade I like to do Call and Response to get the crowd involved and energized. I also like to choose people around me to have short personal interactions with to create a personal feeling within the audience. I can also lead a couple of Christmas carols
When in smaller groups such as Home Visits, Daycares, Churches etc. I enjoy interacting with small props and storytelling. I love drawing the children into the story and including them with questions to keep their attention.
About
I love performing as Santa and watching people of all ages as their face lights up!
There is nothing better than spreading the joy and love of Christmas!
I portrayed Santa for my nieces and nephews over 35 years ago and "caught the bug" I was hooked.
I planned on retiring July 2022 and decided I would "be Santa" so I went to the Prestigeous CW Howard Santa School in October 2021 and there was no turning back!
My wife Kim joined me in this Journey in 2022 as Mrs. Claus and we are constantly honing our craft through continuous training to be the best we can be.
The list below captures a glimpse of our training. This does not include the weekly zoom meetings and Podcasts we follow as part of our training to be the best we can be!
You will not be disappointed when you have Old Town Santa and Mrs. Claus at your Holiday Party or Event!

Additional Booking Notes
Singing is not a big focus, but I would like a microphone for large crowds for Call and Response and addressing the crowd. I carry a small amplifier and speaker with me for smaller events.
A fan off to the side would be great but not a necessity, Santa gets hot inside with his full wool suit and coat on!
A nice area to change when at large events. Santa and Mrs. Claus have invested thousands into their wardrobe and like to care for it to look our very best for our clients!
