Animal friends are always welcomed.
Mrs. Claus is happy to come to events with Santa or on her own. She will read holiday stories, host a tea party, pose for photos with guests. For small children, Mrs. Claus can sometimes be more approachable and less "scary" than Santa.

January 5, 2026Amazing Santa!
Santa for the Holidays is an understatement... This is Santa for Lifetime! He was fantastic in everyway! He arrived on time, he interactive with the guests and was very welcoming. He Recited "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to everyone and it was greatly appreciated. He was courteous to all the guests including the little fury friends! (dogs). Thank you so much Santa! I highly recommend him and would be happy to have him back again in the future.

December 25, 2025Amazing Santa!
Thank you so much for your amazing Santa! Recited the entire Night Before Christmas (personalized it) and had everyone (30) locked in. Add personal touches to passing out gifts. Had a naughty and nice book with all the details. Truly perfect Christmas Eve. Even with the crazy weather we experienced, on time and punctual! Thank you thank you for adding to the Christmas Magic.

What to expect
For a simple home or party visit, Santa Michael is happy to meet and greet, talk with the children (and anyone who wishes), pose for photos with guests, hand out gifts or treats (that you provide), read a story, and lead a Christmas song or two.
Mrs. Claus is also happy to come to events along with Santa, or on her own. She is a veteran of Santa's Village, hosting the Tea Parties with Mrs. Claus. For sensitive children, she can sometimes be more approachable and less "overwhelming" than Santa.
For larger events, there are many things Santa and/or Mrs. Claus can do at your event:
-- Make a “Grand Entrance.” High energy reindeer bells, Ho-ho-hos, call & response.
-- Meet and Greet – welcome guests as they enter, or mingle with the guests, and take “Elfies” (selfies with the Clauses).
-- Master of Ceremonies -- make announcements and keep the activities moving. Holding a raffle or trivia contest? Santa can take the lead.
-- Photos – Santa and Mrs. Claus are happy to take individual or group photos with guests. Even more special if you rent our festive Christmas Throne.
-- Hand out gifts, bonuses or awards from Santa’s big red bag. Or help with gift swaps!
-- Be a jolly judge. Ugly sweater contest? Let Santa or Mrs. Claus decide the winners.
-- Sing with Santa: lead the group in fun holiday tunes.
-- Christmas Storytime: tales of the history of Christmas and Santa’s North Pole adventures.
-- Lead or assist with activities such as cookie decorating or gingerbread house building.
For photo shoots, Santa Michael is happy to sit for photos, and has quite a repertoire of Santa-poses. The kids really respond to him, and he is very photogenic. He has worked with JC Penney photo studios and Lifetouch. He can bring along a few various props for the photos, … sleigh bells, magic staff, magic key, book of the naughty and nice list, his big bag for presents, and Christmas story books.
