January 15, 2026Thank You for a great event, Santa Lee.
We had the pleasure of having Santa Lee join us for our Breakfast with Santa event, and we could not have asked for a better Santa. From the moment he arrived early to greet everyone, his openness and kindness were evident. Santa Lee took the time to walk around, play with the children, and truly engage with them rather than simply posing for photos.
He showed incredible patience with every child, sitting with each one, listening to their stories and wishes, and making them feel seen and special. He happily took multiple photos with both children and parents, creating memories that families will cherish for years to come.
Santa Lee brought genuine joy and warmth to our event, and his presence made the morning truly magical. We are already looking forward to having him back next year and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Santa who truly embodies the spirit of the season.

December 8, 2025Wonderful experience for our neighborhood event!
Santa Lee was legit. He was personable, dressed the part to a "T" (including his real beard and glasses), and was very professional. We will definitely use him again! Thank you!

About
I’m a younger Santa who brings energy, warmth, and a personal touch to every event. As a parent of three—two teens and a special needs pre-teen—I understand how to connect with children of all ages and create magical, memorable experiences.
I’ve spent over two decades working with young people in a variety of roles: coaching baseball, supporting Trail Life USA, chaperoning school trips, and serving as a Church Youth Group Leader for more than 10 years. These experiences have taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of spreading joy—qualities I bring to my role as Santa.
Fully insured and background checked, I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and heartwarming experience for every child and family I meet. Whether it’s photos, visits, or special events, I love helping create holiday memories that last a lifetime.

Influences and inspiration
I’ve always been inspired by the magic of Santa, especially the classic charm of Miracle on 34th Street. Over the years, friends and fellow Santas—Billy, Frankie Claus, and Santa John—have encouraged me to embrace the joy of spreading Christmas cheer and stepping in wherever Santa is needed.
My greatest influence has been Santa Gene, our local legend and the beloved Santa at Panthers games. He brought cheer to Eastland Mall, the Charlotte Country Club, and the Peninsula Country Club, knowing every child and sharing the spirit of the season with genuine warmth. To me, he is the GOAT of Santa magic.
While I would cherish the chance to appear as a Macy’s Santa, my true passion is being the local Santa for Northern Mecklenburg, South Iredell, and the Charlotte Metro area—creating joyful, memorable experiences and spreading holiday cheer right in our community.
