December 27, 2025The Perfect Addition to our Tradition
Santa was perfect for our small event! After we booked he called to find out about our event, asked questions, and made suggestions for ways to make things go even better. He was on time, interacted with kids and adults, and posed for every picture we requested. Highly recommend Santa Al Hockaday!!

Santa was the star of the day providing joy to some very special kids. He was prompt and took his time to make sure the kids had a special experience. I highly recommend him.

We had Santa come to our home to visit with our twin 3 year olds. One child is autistic. He arrived on time. Looked the part! Was very patient with the children. We will have him back every year.

What to expect
A Santa who is capable of entertaining children of all ages. I have been a sports official for 50 years working with age groups from 4- 18+, I have been an independent Mfg Sales Rep since 1977 and I interact well with those I am around.
I enjoy reading Christmas stories, and I am capable of spinning a yarn or two also.
A client can expect someone who will work with them to get what they want out of a Santa appearing at their event.
Clients love it when I do "ask Santa anything" I have an answer for all questions. No limits!
