December 27, 2025The best Santa ever!
Santa D was a delight to have at our event. He was engaging, friendly and professional! He’s amazing with all ages and so much fun.

Wow - so many things going on at your school event - enjoyable from my perspective as well. I learned some balloon twisting to add to my 'toolbox' of festive skills (not quite performance ready though!).
Thanks for having me - please inform me of your date so I can reserve your timeslot.

December 26, 2025Highly recommend!
Santa D was the best Santa I have ever encountered. He showed some of Santa's magic with the props he brought and made it a very special visit for my children. He was great at pausing and recommending good times to take pictures. I truly recommend this Santa for any holiday events you have.

Thank you for the kind words - that home visit was fantastic from my viewpoint.
Hope to see you again this coming season!

December 8, 2025Best Santa!
We booked Santa D in 2023 and everyone loved him so I was very happy to see that he was available this year. He's great with the kids and parents alike. Takes his time and loves to take photos. Looks very authentic! He can even do a little magic. If your looking to book a Santa - he's your guy.

I appreciate your kind words.
It was loads of fun to be with your families at this corporate party!
Hopefully the commercial that we taped will be useful to raise awareness for your event.

December 6, 2025Incredible Santa for Our Silent Santa Event!
Santa D was just wonderful, patient, supportive, understanding, and so kind to our families within our organization. This is our 2nd year with Santa D, and we cannot wait to get him reserved for our event next December!

Santa arrived on time, one of our little ones were sick so I asked Santa to say a little message and without hesitation he did and was amazing. We had Santa for 1 hr and one of the special needs girl was glued to his hip and entertained her the whole time. Santa was absolutely amazing ,professional, suit was well taken care of the money I spent I definitely was not disappointed. definitely a 100/100 experience.

About
(link hidden)
Current 27 year experienced High School Teacher - I first was Santa at one of our school events. Loved it - students enjoyed my character and 'the rest is history'.
This year I will be doing regular mall Santa work, but will be available Friday, Saturday and Sunday for private parties / business gatherings / community events / other promos.
In the past 5 years I attended Pro Santa School (Newmarket), Michigan area Santa Seminar (twice), School 4 Santas two day online course and Santa True's workshop in Philadelphia PA.
I do some Christmas magic and have a few books that I like to read to the youngsters.
Some Fun Facts: appeared in 4 movies during 2025 (2 as Santa Claus), have an older brother that is also a professional Santa Claus (look us up - Toronto Star article brothers in red), have 4 options for boots, 3 suits and 3 vests. I recently refurbished some 150 year old horse team bells which I will be bringing to a few of my appearances this season.
Real beard - real fun!
Looking forward to hearing about your event and how I can help you make it magical and memorable!
Additional booking notes
I can fit into wherever you want me to appear (indoors, outdoors, etc.)

Influences and inspiration
In my travels, I have 'rubbed shoulders' with many Santa Portrayal Artists. We sharpen each other up by sharing stories, experiences and the joy of the Christmas Season. Some of my most valuable experiences have been at Santa School in Newmarket July 2022, the Annual Santa Conference in Saginaw Michigan August 2023 and 2024, Hamilton ON area Santa gathering May 2024 and 2025, and recently the Christmas Performers Workshop in Philadelphia PA with the keynote speaker being Santa True.
Jeff Gilroy enhanced my market appeal early in my career - I frequently look to Santa Gee and Santa Bruce for inspiration and guidance in this industry.
Some of the other Santas that I 'run with' are:
Kilt A Claus, Real Beard Santa, Santa Chad and Santa Brent.
Setup requirements
I bring myself and my Santa sack. Please provide a chair and any other furniture needed for photo opportunitites.
