December 30, 2025Amazing!
We hired Santa Dave for our Christmas event for a community outreach. Santa Dave was amazing. Full of spirit and joy was great with the kids as well as the adults. Santa came with a beautiful singing voice and an upbeat personality. 10 to 10 recommend already looking to book next year.

December 3, 2025Chick-fil-A Hardin Valley highly recommends him!
We absolutely loved having Santa Dave at our Dinner with Santa event at Chick-fil-A Hardin Valley! He was wonderful with the kids, they were completely captivated by him. Santa Dave goes above and beyond—he will event bring his own chair if you ask. He handed out candy canes to all the children! If you're looking for a fantastic Santa for your event, we highly recommend him!

December 26, 2024Very Interactive!
Santa Dave reached out prior to the event and we came up with a game plan on how to introduce him to the grands. He did his homework regarding each child. He came prepared with Santa jokes and tales of his elves and reindeer. He led some Christmas songs as well. I would definitely recommend Santa Dave!

What to expect
Whether 1 person or 500, Santa Dave Nicholas is who they'd see. I take great attention to detail when I'm representing just myself, so why would I not as Santa?
If a client hired me, they'd get a "HO, HO, HO" & then we may discuss things to make his/her imagination happen. It's about making the children and us big kids happy too. A consistent smile, kindness, truthfulness, I'd on-time, good clean morals and someone who likes to have a lot of fun making the children laugh and the parents hearts' melt as they will forever remember the smile on that child face that year.
While I'm not event planner, I cannot really give an opinion as what a potential client is looking for but I can tell you, whatever is asked and required of me, I will do with every fiber of my being if it puts smiles on faces.
"HO, HO, HO'! MERRY CHRISTMAS
About
Hello, my name is Santa Dave Nicholas. I am Blessed to be a Saint Nicholas portrayal artist; I believe through his life he brought much enjoyment by giving gifts to children and adults alike. St. Nicholas also knew that celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ was the greatest reason for the season. I am a Christian Minister that enjoys celebrating the Christmas season spreading the excitement and happiness this time of year can give to each one of us.
It's been 4 years ago now my passion grew even more when I started portraying Santa for my grandchildren. Oh, how my family enjoyed the wonderful time together making precious memories. Well, that started a spark inside of me and I read more and more about St. Nicholas and when I found out he was also a Bishop in the church and also Loved and served as an Evangelist by allowing his toy making skills to speak volumes. I then, went to "The International University of Santa Claus" in Virginia and completed my hours and received my Degree of Bachelor of Santa Claus under the leadership of Timothy Connaghan. These classes were very helpful in sharing many ways that create extraordinary skills such as meeting with families in family settings and large group settings as well.
Santa Dave Nicholas can lead in singing Christmas sings and share memorable Christmas stories through pop-up books that seems to come alive for the young ones. I also, do events such as, parties, i.e., birthday, corporate, etc...photo shoots, tree lightings, parades, churches, department stores and many more things.
My city of residence is Knoxville, Tn. 37921, My main hobby is fishing (catch and throw back), I would be honored to come visit your family, a large group, the above listing is just a few things, however, if you have something else just let me know and I will get back with you quickly.
Thank you and God Bless,
Santa Dave Nicholas
