Overview
PERSONALIZED visits with Santa Claus
Using a pre-visit questionaire filled out by the parents I am able to give each child personal attention with knowledge of their favorite sports, pets, siblings, a previous gift they really enjoyed, etc. Their eyes fill with wonder at how Santa's magic works. Visits are in person or virtual using Zoom.

December 25, 2025Perfect on stage Santa
Santa Dennis was everything we wanted and more! He memorized lines for our show and greeted children. He came to every rehearsal and was ready to lend a hand where needed. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a Santa or as the kids at our holiday show that "THAT IS THE REAL SANTA!"

December 22, 2025Highly Recommend!
Santa Dennis did a wonderful job! He truly becomes Santa when he greets the audience and children. He also provides his own props to enhance the photos with Santa for everyone. Santa Dennis is communicative, flexible and great to work with. Highly recommend!

What to expect
Prior to the visit I send out a brief questionaire. The parents share as much info as they are comfortable with. This enables me to be much more personal and knowing when conversing with the children. It definitely increases the wow factor and the children's sense of wonder.
About
Greetings! I am proud to say that I'm not just a fat man in a red suit. When I put on the suit, I AM Santa. I especially enjoy talking with the kids and hearing their Christmas wishes and dreams. I bring an antique sleigh seat for the kids and I to sit on. I also have a portable North Pole including a special mail box for the letters to Santa. ( A good ice-breaker for the children that are initially a little shy to approach me)
Expirienced Santa for many years. Four years ago I decided to transition to a Real Beard Santa. I find it much more real and personal for the children. It is much easier to talk and communicate with facial expressions!
I look forward to hearing from you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Merry Christmas!
Additional booking notes
I bring an antique sleigh seat to sit upon. It's stable, roomy, and photogenic! I'm very flexible as to timing, entrance and exit, joining in songs, and love to read a story.
