Influences and inspiration
For over 20 years, I’ve delved into the legend and mythology of Santa Claus, drawing inspiration from the luminaries of the International Santa Claus Hall of Fame. Studying under these elite Santas, I’ve honed the art of spreading holiday magic, inspired by their timeless performances that captivate hearts worldwide. My greatest influence, however, was my mother, whose boundless love for Christmas instilled in me the joy of giving. Her enchanting holiday traditions shaped my mission to keep the spirit of Christmas alive, creating magical moments for all. These influences guide my craft, ensuring every visit sparkles with wonder and warmth.
Setup requirements
A sturdy chair high back chair without arms is best for Santa to sit in.
Water for events over 1 hour
Testimonials
Dear Santa-- Words will never be enough to thank you for your appearance at Patrick's birthday party! You told me your goal as a Santa was to keep the magic in Christmas and you do that and more. You made us all believe in the miracle of the holiday and for that I can't thank you enough. All the Best, -Michele
– Michele O'Neill
Santa Kringle is Much Better than any Santa I have ever met (in 72 years). I saw the magic of Christmas in my grand children's eyes when they met Santa Kringle at the Longwood Gardens at Breakfast with Santa. We got to take as many pictures as we wanted, and Santa knew each child by name and even details about them - and me - when Santa spoke to them. Santa Kringle is Santa Claus, and like that jolly old elf is kind and loving. We look forward to his visit this year. Dan and Linda Brooker

Santa Kringle has been stopping by our home on Christmas Eve the last 4 years, and from the second he steps thru the door you know Christmas has truly arrived. You can tell he isn't just a mall Santa that sits there like a puppet just going thru the motions. He takes his time to and actually talks with the children and makes the experience one they will never forget. He makes both me & my wife want to believe in Santa in again. Thanks Santa Kringle !!!
– Bay Ragni
Better than any mall Santa. If you want to see the magic of Christmas in your childs eyes then Santa Kringle is the way to go. For a reasonable price you get to take as many pictures as you like have Santa know your childs name and even details about them for Santa to talk to them. Santa Kringle is funny, kind and loving. My family looks forward to his visit each year. It would not be Christmas without Santa Kringle. -Larry & Lisa Storniolo
– Lisa Storniolo
Dear Santa Kringle , I just wanted to say thank you and what a great job you did.I took my 3 year old daughter to come see you and up until then she would not go up to any Santa to have her picture taken.There must have been something special she saw in you because her eyes lit up and sparkled when see saw you.I couldn't believe it, she walked right up to you and I was finally able to have her picture taken with Santa.I plan on taking her back to see you again as well as my other daughter who will have just turned 1 in the beginning of November.I look forward to see you then. Thanks John DePaolantonio
