The most amazing Santa

A Magical Surprise with Santa Claus!

We had the most wonderful surprise in our daycare classroom today – Santa Claus himself made a special visit! The children were absolutely thrilled as he entered, with wide eyes and big smiles. Santa took the time to greet each child individually, ask them about their wishes for Christmas, and even handed out small gifts that had the children beaming with joy. His warm and jolly presence filled the room with so much happiness.

The magic didn’t stop there – Santa also took a few moments to tell a story, making sure to engage every child in the room. It was clear that he had a special way of connecting with them, making this a memorable experience for all.

The kids will be talking about this visit for a long time, and it truly added a festive touch to our holiday season. Thank you, Santa, for spreading so much joy and making our day extra special!

Best Santa and highlight of our night.

We are so lucky that to have had him. He was the highlight of our large Christmas party and baby’s birthday. Family and guests are still talking about him! Amazing personality, detail, and thoughtfulness!
I found Santa-on-the-Go at the very last minute, as our original Santa fell ill. He ended up being a million times better than our original Santa who we had worked with several times.
Santa-on-the-go asked me in advance for all the cutest details for the kids, and said it was important for him to get the storyline for his appearance and their gifts. I found this an unexpected extra effort and so very considerate. The kids were drawn to him and he had conversations with all 20+ of them.
At the party, he mingled and danced with guests all night. He was “cool” with the cool teens, kept up the jokes with the men, and danced away with the ladies. He was such a hit! People are still asking me where did I get this great Santa.
By far the best Santa we have ever seen. We will be working with him again and again!
Thank you again, Santa-on-the-Go!

Look No Further!!!

Look no further; Santa Andy is not only amazing with the children but the adults as well. He definitely put us all in the Christmas spirit with Christmas songs and his jolly attitude. We have been working with Santa Andy for 3 years and he never disappoints.

Booking information

Price range: $150-300/hr.

Gig length: 30 - 240 minutes

What to expect

I am gregarious, gentle, and yet make a large appearance. I will discuss ahead of time the set-up, and how you wish to have Santa make an entrance. I need a only a firm chair and a nice setting to help you create the best Santa Selfies! I am very quick-witted and have a skill at making the adults turn back into 'big kids' and be part of the experience.

About

I'm a 55yo healthy and robust Santa. I am college educated, and have a quick wit, a pleasant deep voice, and an impish gentle side.

Additional booking notes

I have a strong clear voice. Doubtful I would need sound amplification.

I do not commonly travel with a photographer. If you expect a larger number of persons, please consider having someone assist me with phone pictures and managing children. I require that an adult be present at all times when working with children. (Santa is not a babysitter!)

I always carry individual performers liability insurance. It covers myself, not your event.

Influences and inspiration

I am well-versed in the historical and cultural lore of Saint Nick, and familiar with European and American holiday traditions. That said, my "Santa" is secular and embraces all faiths and peoples.

Setup requirements

A firm chair, please.
