Santa Paul
Overview
Santa Paul's sleigh is parked in Bloomington, MN. Santa Paul has been a real bearded Santa for 23 years, and a part of North-star Santa's for over 20 years, Nationwide Santa's for 10 years, and the IORBS's for 13 years. Santa Paul would love to be your event Santa for private parties, home visits, company parties, restaurants, day care, open houses, business engagements, or church events of all faiths. He has 3 outfits -- "Traditional" Santa with a red velvet suit, the "Workshop" Santa with knickers, and the Victorian / old world Santa suit. I would gladly consider your event within 45 minutes of the Minneapolis area. Most importantly, all proceeds go to drill clean-water wells in Africa.

December 25, 2025Truly memorable experience
Santa Paul absolutely made my Grandsons Christmas. He was engaging, an awesome story teller, has an amazing suit, very communicative beforehand, on time, remembered every detail and was a pure joy. Definitely exceeded every expectation we had, can’t be more grateful and satisfied.

December 2, 2024Santa Paul Brought the Magic!
Santa Paul truly embodies the magic of Christmas. He brought so much joy to our event and we cannot wait to invite him back next year!
We held an Open House style Christmas event at our showroom for customers and the general public to attend. The kids absolutely loved being able to visit with Santa, partake in Christmas songs and overall spend an afternoon with Santa. We truly cannot recommend Santa Paul enough.

About
Santa Paul's sleigh is parked in Bloomington, a western suburb of Minneapolis. Santa Paul has been a real bearded Santa for 25 years, and a part of North star Santa's for over 20 years. Santa Paul would love to be your event Santa for private parties, home visits, company parties, restaurants, day care, open houses, business engagements, or church events of all faiths. He has 3 outfits -- "Traditional" Santa with a red velvet suit, a victorian outfit with a long coat, or the "Workshop" Santa with red or brown nickers and workshop shirts. I would gladly consider your event within 45 minutes of the Minneapolis area.
The Elf "Ting-Ting" is also now available for your party -- ask Santa about bringing the elf along.
Additional booking notes
All I need is a place to be. A sturdy chair to sit in, because your guests will want to be with Santa in some pictures or tell me what they want for Christmas.
