Tropical Santa on Vacation
Full Santa set with backdrop
Overview
Santa Claus, in South Florida, for fourteen seasons. Real suit, real beard, real belly, real belt, real boots!
He reads Christmas stories, leads the carols and knows all the verses, collects every child's list, and stays for photographs until the last cousin has been rounded up — thirty minutes or a full day, in English and in Spanish. He can bring his own chair and backdrop for an additional fee, and he'll arrive at a living room, an office party, a tree lighting, a hospital, or on top of a fire truck.
$1,000,000 insured, background checked, and a Masters of Santa Claus from the International University of Santa Claus.

December 17, 2023Amazing Santa!
Santa Ernie was amazing with the kids! Even when they went a little crazy with excitement he was so patient with all of them! Had them all sing songs, gave presents and was super patient for all the pictures!
His look is also beyond amazing! The kids were in awe and even the moms were amazed of how perfect he was!
Thank you and we will hopefully see you next year!

Santa Miami was incredible. As he said, he came in with bells on and the kids just loved him. He was so friendly and inviting, and his look was absolutely perfect. 10/10 would book again.

What to expect
Every visit is built around your venue and the time you have — thirty minutes or a full day.
WHAT SANTA DOES
· Photographs with every child, and with every adult who insists they're only doing it
for the children
· Lap time, with as many attempts as a shy toddler needs
· Christmas story reading
· Carol sing-alongs — Santa leads, and he knows all the verses
· Collecting every child's Christmas list
· Handing out gifts you have set aside beforehand
HOW SANTA ARRIVES
· To your door, for a home visit
· By parade or fire truck, for city events, tree lightings and neighborhood processions
· With the full photograph set — his own chair and backdrop — for back-to-back mini sessions
SANTA ON HOLIDAY
A tropical set, boots off. Better suited to an outdoor South Florida event than full red
velvet, and considerably more comfortable in the heat. Ask if that's the Santa you want.
IN ENGLISH OR SPANISH
Both fluent. Tell me which you'd prefer — or both. Mixed rooms are normal here.
Ask about anything not listed above, and about any associated fees.
About
Real suit. Real beard. Real belly, real belt, real boots. I'm a South Florida native and
I have been Santa Claus here for fourteen seasons — 56 bookings on the record and a 4.96
rating from the families who left one.
What my reviews mostly say is that I'm patient, and that matters more than it sounds.
Small children lose their nerve. Toddlers need three attempts. Somebody's cousin turns up
twenty minutes late and still wants a photograph. I don't rush any of it and I don't check
my watch.
I read Christmas stories, lead the carols and know all the verses, collect every child's
list, and stay for photographs until the last relative has been rounded up. I work in
English and in Spanish — in this city that isn't a bonus, it's the job.
I bring my own chair and backdrop for photograph sessions, and I'll come to a living room,
an office party, a tree lighting, a hospital, or the top of a fire truck.
Fully insured for $1,000,000, background checked, and holding a Masters of Santa Claus
from the International University of Santa Claus. Certificates for any of it on request.

Additional booking notes
Santa at minimum requires a sturdy chair with sufficient space to sit and place children
on his lap. Santa's suit is very warm, so air conditioning is requested to be kept as
cool as possible — fans are suggested for outdoor venues. Please do not seat Santa next
to a roaring fireplace.
A deposit of 50% reserves your time. If you can let me know two weeks or more in advance
of a cancellation, the deposit is refunded in full — two weeks is usually long enough for
me to find an alternative booking. Inside two weeks I will still try to rebook the slot,
and will refund the deposit if I can.
Fully insured with $1,000,000 entertainers' liability coverage, and a current clear
background check. Certificates available on request.
