December 27, 2024The Real Santa!
Santa was a big success! He knew right from hire that Santa would be visited by more seniors and familes than children and that it was a Senior Facility family event with musical entertainment and DJ song a longs and he went completely with the flow. Santa sat for everyones photo young and old, got up and shared some holiday cheer by chatting ang putting smiles on everyones face. He also joined in on the sing a longs and dance to Santa Claus is coming to town! What a team player! Love HIM!!! Great decision!

December 17, 2024Great Santa
Santa was a very nice man. He read "The Night Before Christmas" book and led the group in singing "Jingle Bells". He then handed out the stockings we had for all of our kids. He was very believable for the younger kids and made them comfortable. Overall, he helped nake the party great.

December 1, 2024Best Santa Ever
Our kids were completely enamored! We had kids aged 1-13… each had a great interaction with Santa that was just right for them. The 11 year old twins - are now convinced that Santa is in fact real! (Mom says thank you for one more year of magic!) My 6 YO granddaughter told her mom -“it’s been the dream of my lifetime”.
Highly recommend The Real Santa - we will absolutely invite him back.

December 23, 2025A great Santa Experience
Santa was wonderful with everyone! He let the kids take him on a tour of the house, handed out presents asking the kids how they had been each year and answering the one million questions they had. He was early and ALL the kids thought he was a real Santa. Would definitely book again. He also brought “nice list” bracelets and Santa Claus plastic coins.

What to expect
I offer a variety of possibilities depending on the event. I have a special giveaway to all children. I can read stories, do some simple magic tricks, but most of all I will put a smile on the children's faces. Mrs. Claus is also available to add that special family touch. I can hand out presents, and of course be available for picture taking.
If you are looking for a company spokes person, I am your man. As a real bearded Santa I give the authenticity your company is looking for.
ASK for the real Santa!
SEE the real Santa!
BELIEVE in the real Santa.
About
I started as Santa with an online program called Hello Santa. After talking with all of the children, I was hooked. I then started doing town events and home visits. Having (link hidden)aus with me gives my events the added touch of a real family. Doing house visits is probably my favorite. Being able to spend more time with children and their families is truly what Santa is all about.
