Overview

Santa Bell has been wearing the big, red suit since 2020. After seeing the joy and excitement it brought the children he visited, he decided to make more pre-Christmas visits from the North Pole to Central Arkansas and North Texas.

Santa Bell is passionate about making the magic of Santa Claus come to life, not just lining up children for photos. Trained to engage children with in-depth North Pole knowledge and stories and displays of "magic", Santa Bell is dedicated to curating an experience that won't be easily forgotten. You'll never catch Santa Bell out of character or leaving believers with doubt.

Santa Bell is a graduate of the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School.

Fantastic.

Super timely and communication was on point. Let me know when he was on his way and was nothing but helpful and more than accommodating to our event and event needs.

Core memories created.

This Santa exceeded every expectation. He showed up early, texted to communicate, and from the second he walked in, the kids were completely in awe. He was patient, gentle, and so sincere with each child. As a mom, that meant everything. He didn’t rush a single moment and made each kid feel seen. We created memories that will live in our family forever. I can’t recommend him enough.

Straight from the North Pole!

Santa Bell lives up to his name with his authentic attire adorned with jingle bells. He "worked the room" at our Christmas party to meet with each child. He appeared to make a positive connection with child and parent alike. When it came time for pictures, he was most patient as he held the absolutely smallest of babies and even let big kids -- REALLY big kids -- sit on his lap. :-)

Gig length: 60 - 720 minutes

What to expect

Before Santa Bell travels from the North Pole, a consultation is required to discuss details of the visit. Santa Bell works with parents, employers, photographers, philanthropists, business owners, and more to understand the goals of his visit, the children and people will be visiting, and any logistics details. Santa Bell will do his best to accommodate all requests in the given time period.

Things discussed during the consultation include: Emergency Contact Information, Parking, Santa's Greeter/Helper, Santa's Entrance, Santa's Chair/Backdrop, Restroom/Breakroom, Event Agenda, Group Activity, Interactions with Children, Departure, and Payment.

Santa Bell has two costume options; more traditional or more dressy/elegant. His costume accessories are also extremely high-end, including custom boots, belt and belt buckle, bells, keys, pocket watch, rings, and glasses. Santa Bell's costumes exude a "larger than life" appearance that makes his look especially authentic. His costumes are also outfitted with custom brass bells that make a beautiful sound with each step.

Available props include Santa's toy bag, Scroll of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" poem, and Polar Express pocket watch, North Pole keys, "The Santa Clause" business cards, and light-up gloves for special displays of "magic". For single or multi-family events, each child's parent is also left with one of Santa's buttons that they may leave under the tree on Christmas Eve as Santa "evidence".

About

Santa Bell's main helper, Brent Bell, is an Arkansas transplant, originally from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. He and his wife, Brandi, are pretty obsessed with the Christmas season, so when the opportunity arose to be Santa's #1 helper in Central Arkansas and North Texas, he jumped at the opportunity.

Brent has a giving heart and loves children and animals. He believes that Christmastime should be special for everyone, rooted in the true meaning of Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ. He feels Santa is a wonderful way to spread joy to others, no matter how brief the visit.

Brent and his wife, Brandi, have been married since 2019 and have two rescue fur-children, Beethoven and Nala.

Brent is a graduate of the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School, the acclaimed "Harvard" of Santa schools, which has trained many famous Santa helpers around the world, including the "helper" at Disney World, Coca-Cola, and Macy's.

Additional booking notes

Santa Bell and all of his helpers are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. To protect you and your loved ones, Santa Bell also carries performer insurance and a current background check.

Disclaimers:
Santa Bell will not promise any gift(s) to any child, even if the parent(s) insist.

Santa Bell will try his best to comfort and encourage children to pose for photos. However, Santa Bell will never force a child to sit on his lap or be in a physical position that makes the child scared or uncomfortable.

Santa Bell and his helpers voluntarily hold themselves to the standards set out by the Child Welfare Information Gateway for Mandatory Reporters of Child Abuse and Neglect. This means that Santa Bell will report any suspicion of child abuse or neglect to parents as well as proper authorities.
