December 9, 2022Perfection!
Tim brought the magic of Santa & the North Pole straight to our shop! Santa spent the first 15-20 mins sharing stories of the North Pole and doing some magic. This really warmed apprehensive children up to Santa, and we did not have any children to cry when it was their turn to sit in Santa’s lap. I could not recommend Santa Tim enough!!!

Tim is the most genuine Santa and person I have ever met. His engaging voice and gentle manner is what makes him such a great Santa. We hope to experience this magic yearly.

Additional booking notes
I will travel to you for your event. If a PA System is needed, I provide that as well. Typically I provide everything I'll need for any performance except the space and a chair. If the visit is for photos with Santa, I'll require a sturdy chair that will hold himself and a child on each knee. A chair without arms is preferable. Large "cushy" overstuffed chairs are less than optimal.
