Meet Uncle Santa — a Disneyland Santa veteran and professional Black Santa Claus bringing warmth, humor, storytelling, and genuine Christmas magic to families and events throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, San Diego, and Southern California.

What began as a fun opportunity to put on the red suit quickly became something much more meaningful. After meeting families from around the world, hearing Christmas wishes, posing for photos, appearing at holiday events, and waving to guests from parade floats at the Disneyland Resort, Uncle Santa discovered that being Santa Claus is more than a performance. It is a chance to create joy, connection, representation, and memories that families carry with them long after the holidays.

As a Black Santa, Uncle Santa is proud to be part of a growing tradition of Santas who help children and families feel seen, welcomed, and included in the magic of Christmas. He has experienced firsthand how meaningful it can be when a child sees a Santa who looks familiar, understands their family, or simply takes the time to make the interaction feel personal.

Every appearance is shaped around the people in the room. Uncle Santa is available for home visits, family Christmas parties, schools, churches, company holiday parties, corporate events, community celebrations, HOAs, photo sessions, parades, festivals, hotels, resorts, and major holiday events.

Visits can include Christmas wishes, North Pole questions, stories, songs, photos, meet-and-greets, announcements, and gift distribution using presents provided by the host.

Uncle Santa brings a real beard, professional Santa presentation, strong improvisational and performance experience, and a warm, approachable personality for children and adults alike.

Based in Orange County and available throughout Southern California, Uncle Santa also travels for select out-of-area appearances.

Bring the family, write the wish lists, and make room for the sleigh.
