Hello, my name is Santa Jon, and I am a real bearded Santa. I previously worked as Santa at the Mall of America for 7 years. I have been a professional Santa for 11 years. I truly have a love for children, and I work well with children who have special needs. I have amazing stories about the North Pole and my adventures over the years. Each story has a prop that helps make the story more magical. I am available for home visits, corporate and customer appreciation parties, community and summer appearances, and photographer mini sessions. New this year, "Story Time with Santa Show.” The show will be a 30-minute performance with Santa Jon telling North Pole stories and my amazing adventures.

December 4, 2025Santa Jon created a magical experience for the children at my daycare. He really took the time to make each child feel special and his years of experience and ability to improvise showed. I would highly recommend a visit from Santa Jon!

December 16, 2023Santa Jon was wonderful. All the children and parents loved him. We really enjoyed his story. He spent time with each child. Talking to them and letting parents take pictures. He also gave each child a candy cane and bracelet! I recomend him highly!

December 15, 2023Santa Jon was a great addition to our holiday event. He arrived early and was so professional and kind and thoughtful, not to mention he looked like a perfect Santa. He was great at communication leading up to the event as well. We would love to hire him again for another event and would encourage all looking for an awesome Santa to reach out to him, you won't regret it.
