What to expect

PLEASE NOTE: If you are looking to book weekends in December, and you reach out to me after September 1st, there's a high likelihood all my weekends are fully booked. Always inquire, but I book very early in the year, and cannot guarantee availability. Thank you for reaching out!

Santa Jason provides a custom experience for your individual needs. A typical private home visit consists of Santa arriving, passing out candy canes or other treats, and then posing for photos with family members. Typical private home visits are 15 - 30 minutes. Longer visits may be set up as well - Santa can visit for up to 8 hours. Corporate events work similarly - Santa can hand out gifts to employees, pose for photos, and will even speak a little and talk. He can lead everyone in Christmas carols. Santa is also a theatrically trained singer. Need a really beautiful rendition of "O Holy Night" that will stun and excite the crowd? Ask for "Singing Santa" services. Santa Jason's commitment is to make magic & memories for you and your holiday event.

About

When not donning the famous suit, Santa Richmond (or Santa Jason) is an award-winning professional singer, actor, and composer who​se work has been seen on stage both locally in Virginia, and across the country.

Santa Jason trained and worked as a professional Santa Claus at Macy's department store (Herald Square), and has years of experience as a character actor, and a master of transformation. He has the distinction of being one of the youngest professional Santa's in the United States, as well as holding a Bachelor of SantaClausology from the historic International Santa Claus University. He is also a member of the Red Suit Society.

Additional booking notes

Requirements: Sturdy chair (no folding chairs, wooden/metal or otherwise). No rocking chairs. A solid wingback, or solid chair with no arms is fine. Remember, Santa wears a heavy suit, and must support the weight of not only himself, but two children or adults on each knee. Do not place Santa by an open fire. While a fireplace always looks nice, homey and "Christmasy," it's not good for Santa's health to be sitting next to an open fire. Keep the event room between 65-70 degrees. Please provide and offer Santa cold bottled water - his suit is hot and lined with real fur. A private and reserved parking spot should always be made for Santa. Please do not ask him to park in a parking garage and walk far to an event. He is the guest of honor, and must be given proper courtesy for his services.
