December 27, 2025Absolute best!
We were so impressed with Santa & Mrs. Claus. They were so great with the children & even brought their own bag full of toys. Even the moms & grandmas received a beautiful pin! The kids loved participating in the story & songs. We definitely recommend them & would have them again!

We have nothing but great things to say about Santa and Mrs. Claus! From our first contact to walking out the door, they were delightful to work with! Wonderful with the kids and adults. Very professional and excellent in their appearance and performance. We are so happy with our visit and will be looking forward to next year!

At the risk of not being able to book them next year, they are off the chart awesome!! If you did not believe in Santa before meeting the folks, you will by the time they leave. The magic they bring with them is real, you can really feel it in the air. The parents that witnessed them entertain the children in our Daycare were blown away as were we. We'd give them 6+ stars if possible. We fell in love with them. Jerry and Kathy Hill

Thank you, Jerry!!
That means a lot to us. We loved the short time we got to spend and share with your family and the little ones.
Mary and I still are talking about the heart warming hosts you and your wife are.
Thank you for making our day special.

Michael is a FABULOUS Santa! Not only does he look the part but he acts the part with a tender, kind heart and the gentleness of a SAINT! Saint Nick indeed! His beard is real and white, his belly...well it's perfect!, his suit is high quality, and his heart is gold. He really and most sincerely cares about each and every child and wants them to know there is Good and Wonderfully Magical Experiences in this world! We need more who understand childhood years are fleeting and deserve this kind of Christmas Love. There really IS A SANTA!

What to expect
Santa begins by knowing his audience. This occurs days before the visit with a phone call with the party organizer/client. Information on number of children and adults expected at the event with names, ages, and special requests being discussed as well as optional gifts being given out by Santa!!
During your event/party Santa demonstrates some of his famous Christmas magic, recites "The Night Before Christmas" and a Christmas sing-a-long is also a fun activity.
Photos are welcome to be taken with Santa during his visit as well as Santa taking the time to discuss your child's Christmas wishes!!
Activities can be arranged and tailored specifically to make your Christmas party one to remember for a lifetime!!

Influences and inspiration
The biggest influence for my Santa Claus persona would have to be my Mom and Dad
The examples of generosity and giving of themselves for their children and family have left a mark within me that I try and live up to every day.
Christmas time and the holiday season in our home were magical and filled with love and excitement. Which I've tried to pass on with my own wife and children.
Being Santa Claus really comes from the heart. The beautiful red suit trimmed in fur are just window dressings for that special connection when a child looks into my eyes and I see that they truly believe!!
