Overview

Hi, I’m Santa Kelly, a professional, real-bearded Santa with something a little special—an elf-like ear! I tell children it’s one of the reasons I was chosen to be Santa.

I love bringing Christmas magic to folks of all ages. With over 10 years as a Cub Scout leader, I know how to connect with children and make each visit special.

I trained at Northern Lights Santa Academy and continue learning through the Worldwide Santa Claus Network.

I’m available for home visits, parties, parades, photo sessions, corporate and community events, and more. My goal is simple: make folks smile, help children believe, and create Christmas memories that last.

What to expect

You can expect a warm, friendly, and professional Santa who enjoys visiting with children and adults alike. I like to laugh, listen to Christmas wishes, pose for plenty of pictures, and make everyone feel part of the fun. Every event is different, so I work with the host ahead of time to make sure my visit fits what you have planned. My goal is simple—bring a little Christmas magic, make folks smile, and leave everyone with a memory they’ll hold onto for years to come.

Additional booking notes

I don’t have any special technical requirements. What I do ask is that you share a few details with me before the event so I can make the visit more personal. Names of children or special guests, Christmas wishes, family traditions, accomplishments, or other fun details can help me make the experience feel like Santa really knows them. A little information ahead of time can go a long way toward making some Christmas magic!
