Riverwalk Santa
Overview
(MRS. CLAUS AVAILABLE, her schedule permitting!) Looking for a natural bearded Santa for your event, party, or photo schoot? Look no further! I love bringing wonder and magic to kids of all ages (We're pet friendly, too)! I don't have the look of the standard Coca-Cola Claus, closer to a Christmas Chronicles Claus or a Scott Calvin (The Santa Clause) With a booming Santa "HO! HO! HO!", I want to help you make this holiday season the best one ever! I offer storytime book readings, meet and greets, Classic Photo ops, mall/store events, get-well hospital visits and more!

January 2, 2026Best Santa ever!!
We used Riverwalk Santa for our PTA event at an elementary school. He and Mrs. Claus were AMAZING! They were so personable, took all the pictures our families wanted, and added so much to our event. We are planning to hire them again for next years event!!

Santa and Mrs Claus were wonderful!! Kind and willing to help our vision come true from the very beginning. I have hired multiple Santas to the experience this Santa and Mrs Claus brought. I recommend 100%! I don't have one negative thing to say. Literally. Outstanding! Thank you Santa and Mrs Claus for the delightful experience!

What to expect
What you get: SANTA CLAUS! Santa and Mrs. Claus (If she's available - there is no additional fee for Mrs. Claus!) I also have a backdrop and a mobile Santa chair if needed for photo ops. I love to walk around during slow periods to meet and greet folks and help attract people to your area. I believe every single person who visits deserves actual face time and engagement with Santa.
About
Hello there! Before 2021, I was a bog-standard corporate officeworker with a 9-5. a sci-fi and pop-culture junkie at heart, I've always been able to connect with all audiences, whether I was on the Radio in the late 1990's, announcing for many local events here in San Antonio, or in meetings at work.
I discovered my love of being The Jolly Old Elf in 2021 when I was asked to do a home visit at a friend's house. Since then, I've been Santa in all but name! I love seeing the magic on people's faces when they see Santa Claus. The joy in children's eyes, the glee on the face of a pet owner when they see their pet's picture with Santa, a proud parent beaming at seeing their newborn's first picture with St. Nick. It's a love I never knew I had, but always yearned for.
So, I suppose now, I'm an office working Sci-fi and pop culture nerd who has a not-so-secret identity of bringing joy and magic to the holiday season!
Additional booking notes
I'm very flexible - your setup becomes my stage, no matter the event. I will need you to provide a chair (If you want seated photo ops, and a backdrop. Other than that, I'm easy like Sunday morning!
Services offered
Influences and inspiration
I'm influenced by classic Santa Claus's from all over pop culture. From Santa in A Nightmare before Christmas, to Tim Allen's Santa Claus, to Kurt Russel in Christmas Chronicles. (Heck, even the terrible Higbee's department store Santa in A Christmas Story!)
Setup requirements
Photographer/photography equipment (If needed)
For story times, your choice of short story book (Or I can improvise!)
If you have a particular backdrop or chair in mind, we'd need those. But we do have a chair and backdrop available.
