December 4, 2025A Truly Magical Breakfast with Santa and the baby goats!
We had the most wonderful experience with Santa Gary and Mrs. Claus at our Breakfast with Santa event. They were warm, interactive, and incredibly engaging with every child. Santa brought a bag of magical objects and took the time to explain each one—our guests were absolutely captivated!
Their presence added so much joy and Christmas magic to the morning, and the families could not stop talking about how special it felt. We highly recommend Santa Gary and Mrs. Claus for any holiday event!
We can’t wait to have him back again next year!

December 13, 2024Best Santa and Mrs. Claus
My homeschool co-op planned an epic party for our students, Santa and Mrs. Claus made it so special and fun. All of my students said it was the best day. They were the highlight of our party.

December 9, 2024They were the highlight of our event!
We were so lucky to have Santa Gary and Mrs. Claus at our event this past Saturday! I had heard wonderful things from parents, and they exceeded all expectations.
Santa Gary and mrs Clause were absolutely wonderful with the children. They took the time to talk to each one, answer their questions (even the tough ones!), and pose for photos. The kids were thrilled with the little bracelets and goodies they received. My twin 18 month girls were fasinated by all the bells and sound he made when he walked in.
They both created such a magical and memorable experience for everyone.
I highly recommend Santa Gary and Mrs. Claus to anyone looking to add some Christmas magic to their event. They are true professionals and a joy to work with!
