Best Santa for your event!

We had Santa come to our studio for Christmas photo sessions. He was absolutely amazing in every way, he interacted with each kid so well and truly brought the magic of Christmas. My own 10 year old as well as another family with a 10 year old boy said that this experience with Santa definitely kept the belief going for another year. The excitement on each child’s face was overwhelming and Santa was full of fun stories to add even more joy and giggles. He brought all the parents a gift and put their name on the nice list- watching the kids read off their parents name with delight was so heartwarming and such a wonderful idea! He brought his own special book to read with a cute little treat to go with it and the kids all LOVED it! He really thinks of all the little magical details and it shows. I haven’t had a chance to get our photos touched up yet to post but I’ll attach some phone pictures here! He was the best and we definitely will be using him for future events!

Thank you so much Kristi Lee! It was my pleasure to bring joy to your family and your guests as well.
You were a delightful host and set the bar very high! You helped bring the magic of Christmas with your encouragement and providing the details needed to spark the magical experience for the children. These pictures do capture that wonder and joy!
I'm really looking forward to seeing the other photos and video too.
I hope this Christmas Season extends to years beyond measure. Blessings!

The best Santa for we had for our event

We hired Santa Ben for our Home for the Holidays event in 2025 and he was such a big hit. All the families loved him and he got a long great with our volunteers. He wasn't overly charismatic like some santas can be, nor was he too stern or cordial. He was just right, with a warm calm demeanor about him, and he connected with all the kids and their families. We will definitely hire him again and highly recommend him!

Thank you again for having me as Santa for your In-Home Daycare. It's been a pleasure and so much fun to see these children grow these past couple years. The time goes so quickly.

Booking information

Price range: Contact for pricing

Languages: English

Gig length: 30 - 240 minutes

Insurance: $4,000,000 - Kaercher Insurance an Alera Group Agency - Commercial General Liability Insurance

What to expect

I would start by greeting everyone, telling stories, reading Christmas books, help Tree Lighting Ceremonies, photos with families, kids, and pets-alike, present gifts to the families and/or children, and even do special events like Hospital Visits and Care Facilities.

About

I love children of all ages!
I have been a youth leader and community influencer in the Colorado Springs area for more than 30 years and currently serve as a leader at a small community church in Larkspur, Colorado.
Since 2016, I have portrayed Santa throughout the Pikes Peak region, participating in community events and supporting the Christmas Unlimited Toy Drive through the Chasing Santa 5K and Cycling Santa Bike Ride.
Being Santa is about much more than wearing a red suit. It is an opportunity to share joy, offer encouragement, create meaningful memories, and remind children and families that they are valued and loved.
Whether I'm listening to Christmas wishes, posing for photos, delivering gifts, or sharing stories about my reindeer, my hope is that every guest leaves with a smile and a little more Christmas spirit in their heart.
After all, Christmas joy grows when we share it.

Additional booking notes

Please provide Santa a seat, stool or bench to sit on. Placement near a Christmas Tree or family area or backdrop is preferred. Keep this as simple as possible for your photos and memories. Enjoy the experience.

If gifts are being presented to guests or family members, please provide these gifts to me in advance of the event. If you prefer that I wrap and label these gifts in my own Christmas paper, please (sticky note) label the gifts with the names on the gift. I can write, "From Santa" to the family member's name to keep the mystery of Santa alive.

Please provide a list of guests' names who will be attending the event and their favorite toy from childhood. This is for the greeting and building rapport and authenticity with the family.

This is YOUR event! I'm here to make it special and memorable for you.

Influences and inspiration

I have portrayed Santa since 2016 with Chasing Santa 5k and Cycling Santa Bike Ride as a fundraiser for Christmas Unlimited toy drive in the Pikes Peak Region.
I have also been in several dozen local performace productions throughout my academic years and as an adult.
As a Youth Leader, I love asking children questions to bring out the best in them and to encourage their potential.

Setup requirements

A seat, stool, or bench to sit on.
