“The Santa was not the Santa that is in this picture. But he was still very good! The kids loved him. ”
Santa Dan
Overview
When you want Santa to visit, you want a professional. I am a real bearded Santa with a custom suit and years of experience. I am available for your home, community, or corporate event. And can bring along Mrs. Claus!
After making a grand entrance, I like to greet everyone and make everyone feel special. I enjoy gathering the children to read The Night Before Christmas. And I always follow that by singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and I love it when the kids and adults join in!
Children of all ages may sit on my knee to tell me what they would like for Christmas. I am always happy to pass out any presents you might have. And of course we should always take lots of photos!

Highly recommend hiring Santa Dan for your event. The kids loved him. He read a story, sang a song, and was super engaging. Exceeded our expectations.

December 20, 2024Amazing Santa!
Hired Santa Dan due to our other Santa cancelling last second. All I can say is I wish Santa Dan would’ve been who we originally hired. He brought a book and read it to the children while singing songs and making the kids laugh. It was an amazing time and the entire center loved him and his energy. Santa Dan made the magic come to life for the kids at the childcare facility. I’ll definitely be in touch for next time!

What to expect
Whether for a Home Visit or a Corporate event, I like to make a big entrance. I will ring my jingle bells and give a Ho Ho Ho! I like to greet everyone in the room. Then I make my way to a chair and invite the children to listen to "Twas the Night Before Christmas." I then lead everyone in singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Children can then sit on my knee to tell me what they would like. If there are presents to pass out, I like to have everyone hold their present till we can open them all at once. I also encourage family and group photos.
About
I have been a teacher and trainer for more than 20 years, and a clown and children's entertainer for the last 12. Of all the work I do, playing Santa is the most satisfying. I love keeping the wonder alive, helping children to believe in the spirit of Christmas.
