Overview

I love bringing the joy of the Christmas season to any holiday event! I'm a very energetic and fun Santa, and have a great rapport with kids. I can offer posing for pictures, read stories and handing out gifts. I am very comfortable with small and large groups having appeared in a wide variety of Christmas events, as well as photo sessions, TV commercials, music videos and the movies "A Bad Moms Christmas" and the upcoming "Life Size 2" for Disney/Freeform.

So thankful I found Santa Phil!

Santa Phil was WONDERFUL. Not only did he connect with small children but posed with teenagers, took selfies with adults, rode the train with the residents and really spent time listening to them. He went the extra mile. Everything was handled with professionalism. He impressed us, our residents and other vendors at our event.

Could not have had the more perfect Santa!

We really enjoyed working with Santa Phil . He was so much fun to work with and really made the whole photo session worthwhile. His expressions are very animated and just perfect! Santa Phil really knows how to work the camera. It definitely takes a kind heart to sit through a 2.5 hr photo session with many goldendoodle puppies, my family and 3 adorable little boys . I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting " The Real Santa" .

Santa Claus he is!

Santa Phil was wonderful! Children and adults alike were enamored with him. He was very gracious and jolly the entire night. Young and old were gathered around him asking questions about the Naughty/Nice list and where Rudolph was. He read to them as well as walked around surprising unsuspecting guest around every corner. If he's not the "real" Santa Claus then he's his clone. I would hire him again and again!!!!

What to expect

I'm a fun, energetic and creative Santa. I can adapt to any occasion. I'm also a professional writer and actor, so I'm very comfortable in front of small or large groups - and I'm very good at improv.

Influences and inspiration

I have been influenced by Red Skelton, The Carol Burnett Show and I worked on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" during his last two years. I also worked on "Seinfeld" for it's first five years. I have learned from the masters, but my biggest influence was my dad. He was the funniest man I ever knew. And he loved people...especially kids. He was an elementary school teacher for 34 years.
