Overview

In-person Home Visits and Virtual Visits with Santa Claus with a Real Beard

Doesn't every child Wish4Santa to visit?

Stay right in your home and Santa will video chat with you and your children virtually with Zoom.

Hello, you may call me Santa, Santa Claus, or Santa Shane.
Santa Shane travels from Wisconsin Dells to Madison to Milwaukee Wisconsin, and areas in-between. (I will travel further for special events.)
The in-home personal visits that Santa attends shouldn't take no more than 15 minutes up to 4 to 5 children. Possibly 20 minutes for up to six or eight children. Some weekend dates or certain popular times may be higher priced as demand goes up for weekends and popular times.

Best Army Christmas Party

Couldn't have asked for a better Santa experience. He was the life of the party. Takes the utmost care with each guest and child. By far the best I have ever worked with. If you want someone that will light up the room and give the children an experience of a lifetime, this is the Santa to do it.

Awesome event for West Allis

Great event for the community in West Allis. When not taking photos with children and families, Santa was out waving to people walking by and asking questions and giving suggestions for our business to reach more people. Would definitely book again!

Santa Shane was awesome

Santa Shane did a great job for us. We coordinated some gifts for him to give and the a few stories and sing-along songs that he led. I would highly recommend Santa Shane.

Great Appearance and Personality

Pros: Santa looks fantastic — the outfit, the hair/beard, the bells, the bag — really amazing appearance. He was also super funny and fantastic with my 9 year old and my elderly parents... even with my 2 curious cats. He delivered gifts I left out for him to give, which is a great touch.
Cons: He arrived 25 minutes late. We were also told he would stay for 20-30 minutes (I double checked my messages to confirm), but he was here for only 11 minutes. The story was a nice touch, but it was read super fast, and even the time asking what my son would like for Christmas seemed rushed. This experience is not cheap, so if it’s $xxx for 20-30 minutes, then it should be 20-30 minutes.
Overall, we would hire Santa again. My parents and my son didn’t know the time was shorted or that he was late — and they were thrilled that Santa came to our house. That’s an amazing memory to have.

Amazing experience

Santa Claus with real beard was the real thing! He was wonderfully friendly, made sure that every last person was made to feel just as special as the next. We were able to get pictures with everyone, big and small. His Santa goodwill and happiness was infectious! We had special directions for him to follow and he handled every last detail. I would highly recommend his services!

About

Before I arrive to the Party, I call my contact to let them know I am about to arrive so they can get the people together inside the party.
Once I'm there, I like to enter the room with a big, Ho, Ho, Ho! As I sashe' around the room jingling my bells I like to assess how the children are accepting me. I do not like to approach them right away if they are afraid. I like to have the children that are afraid see other children either shake my hand or giveme a hug.
I also like to give special attention to senior adults because Santa brings back so many special memories for them and Santa affects them in so many different ways.
Then depending on the group that is in attendance, I sing songs, pass out presents and pose with the children or families for photographs.

I do travel from Mitchell International Airport(It is a good place to park my Sleigh) 5300 South Howell Avenue Milwaukee, WI 53207. In November and December my range of travel is only 30 miles depending on how full my schedule is.

Influences & Inspiration

I was an elf in training for 31 years. My first year putting on the Santa suit was 2006(and it fit like a glove). I had been helping my parents for 31 years bring joy into peoples lives.
I have to tell you the story about how my father started portraying Santa Claus. We were at a friends family farm in Indiana. My father was asked to play Santa while we were at the party. Not being prepared at all the family had a fake beard, a Santa coat and a baseball cap. My father put it on and Santa Martin was born. He had portraid Santa for 31 years, my mother portraid Mrs. Claus for the last 23 years. Due to health reasons they both had to stop after Christmas 2005.
Over the years of helping my parents, I have watched them and learned from them how to be a fantastic Santa. My Dad started with that fake beard and baseball cap and turned his outfit into a Beautiful, complete Santa suit, with his real beard that he would start growing from the beginning of Summer so it would be just right for Christmas. My father "became" Santa when he wore the suit with his jolly attitude, and I enjoy taking over that tradition, and seeing smiling faces in children of ALL ages and bringing the wonder of Christmas to everyone.
