Santa Oliver
Overview
Seasons Greetings! I am Kris Kringle also known as Santa Claus! I love the history, traditions and customs of Christmas and I will bring "Old World" charm and Christmas magic to your visit or event.
I've been a professional Santa since 2006, I'm a graduate of The International University of Santa Claus, one of the finest Santa schools in the U.S.
I am always a good Santa, I never portray a "Bad Santa" image. I'm gentle, kind, joyous, and I have a twinkle in my eyes, just like you would expect from the Santa!
I'm available for many types of events, home visits, parades, tree lighting's, photo sessions, churches, school visits, etc.. and I can provide a current clear background check.

December 15, 2024Magical Morning
This is our second time using Santa Oliver. He truly brings the magic of Christmas with him. He read a Christmas story to the kids, sang Christmas songs with everyone, and patiently posed for millions of pictures with families and the children. I hope to always use Santa Oliver as our families Santa Clause.

Highly recommended. I received several comments on how authentic he looked. He posed and interacted with the customers at our 1 year anniversary event at The Local Grind Coffee shop. He was absolutely fantastic!!

December 10, 2023Santa Oliver was fantastic.
Santa Oliver was fantastic. He was very communicative before his arrival. All the guests had a great time. He read a book, sang with the kids and handed out special gifts. Could not have asked for a better visit.

What to expect
Santa gives his best in everything he does to bring joy to others.
A typical home or party visit will include singing Christmas songs, reading or telling stories about the North Pole, elves, the reindeer, etc.
Sitting with the children and listening to their Christmas wish list otherwise called "The Interview". Ho ho ho.
About
I've been asked the question "why do you want to be Santa Claus?" My answer, "I think I was born to be Santa. I've always loved Christmas and how the joy of the season really brings out the goodness in people. I feel I can bring some of that joy and magic to young and old by being Santa. It truly is a calling"
I can bring a lot to your event or visit. I can read Christmas stories, sing songs and of course hear the wishes of children young and old a like, whatever your event requires.
I have a Bachelor of Santa Claus from the International University of Santa Claus.
I'm a member of Cotton State Santas and ClausNet, the largest online community of Santas, Mrs. Claus' and other Christmas performers.
Apart from being Santa, I'm a retired 32 year veteran employee of the Walt Disney World Co. I am a fine artist and illustrator. I have public speaking experience and tons of experience interacting with children and adults of all ages.
Great guest service is a hallmark of my Santa service. I have a true heart for being Santa, it's not a job for me, it's a calling!
"Santa enters through the heart, not the chimney."
I feel it is extremely important to be a Santa you can trust so I have a current clear criminal background check.
I'm also a devoted husband of 29 years and I'm a proud father two and a grandfather!
Additional booking notes
Not so much a technical issue but for photos, a well lit area of the home is nice and also having a sturdy straight back "Santa" chair ((Client provided) close to the Christmas tree or other holiday decorations is good.
