Overview
I will meet with your guests, listen to Christmas wishes, distribute gifts you have and pose for pictures. I have several stories that I can read if you like. I am also happy to tell your children about the true meaning of Christmas and why Santa delivers all those presents!
I have a cream wing-backed chair I can bring that someone on your team can unload from my sleigh, cleverly disguised as a Honda Passport, if you need a good place to take pictures with Santa. For more formal events, I also have a photo backdrop I can provide to take memorable Christmas photos.

This is year 5 that we have had the pleasure of having Santa with us. He is absolutely amazing with the kids has the best Merry Christmas and HO-HO-HO it makes the kids smile each time. I can't recommend this Santa enough.

September 18, 2025He is literally The Best!
We had an intimate gathering with just 2 families (total of 4 kiddos). He read multiple books to the kids and constantly engaged with them. He answered questions and asked them questions. Santa even reached out ahead of time to get an idea of what we were hoping for. You couldn’t ask for a more genuine and thoughtful human. I actually think I’m convinced that he IS in fact THE Santa!! You won’t regret working with Santa Dutch.

What to expect
I can arrive 10 - 15 minutes before your event begins if you wish so that I can arrive before any of your guests. I will meet with your guests, listen to Christmas wishes, distribute gifts you have, and pose for pictures. I have several stories that I can read if you like. I have a white wing-backed chair that I can bring with me that someone on your team can unload from my sleigh, cleverly disguised as a Toyota Minivan, if you need a good place to take pictures with Santa.
