Overview
Jolly Old Santa can make a very special appearance at your holiday event or he can create a personalized video or zoom call from his workshop in the North Pole.
I've appeared at every kind of holiday event, including three years as Mariah Carey's Santa in "All I Want for Christmas is You" and five years as the one and only Santa at New York’s legendary luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman. In addition to several commercials I've appeared as Santa on ABC’s The View, Comedy Central’s Christmas Special as well as televised appearances with Selena Gomez, Pitbull, and many others.
The beard is genuine and so is the bowl full of jelly.

Kris Kringle came to our school's Breakfast with Santa event yesterday. He was great to work with, from the original booking, until the end of the event. He was incredibly responsive, arrived right on time, looked fantastic and made everyone happy! I would highly recommend him and would have no second-thoughts about booking him again.

We had an absolutely magical evening with Kris Kringle. He checked in with me before the event to get all the details. On the day of he was prompt, brought a lovely story to read with the children, and answered all our children’s questions with the natural flare of the man in red himself. I highly suggest him for all of your events.
We booked Kris for an school event. The kids absolutely loved him. We are looking forward to working with him again.

You won’t find a better Santa around! The most patient, kind and thorough Santa. He was absolutely the most professional of any entertainment I’ve ever hired for my kids parties. I’m so thrilled with how excited the children were, how real he appeared, and how in-character he stayed through out our event. He was so patient and posed for every picture, leaving our guests with memories that will last them an entire lifetime. Thank you so much, Santa, for your time and talent. You are appreciated far more than you will ever know.
Thank you so much for a memorable afternoon! Kris Kringle was everything we hoped for and more. Very patient and kind and took the time to speak with all the children.

Kris Kringle was amazing beyond words. He was everything you would expect from Santa and more. It was truly a magical afternoon and I can’t thank him enough. Highly, highly recommend 🎅
Kris knew what he was doing and did exactly what had to be done and then some more. He was a pleasure! Would hire him a million times more

Kris Kringle came to celebrate XMAs before COVID. This year we were fortunate enough to get a video message from him. My kids are young enough to still believe in Santa, but old enough to know that there are many people out there playing Santa through the season. They fully believe that Kris Kringle is the real man himself, and I'm not sure they are wrong.

Everything was great - on time, professional, and easy-going... plus great Santa vibes! We were filming a digital greeting for a client, and he was great to work with. Highly recommend.

After yesterday's great event, we're pretty sure that this is THE Santa Claus! He was fantastic to work with, and certainly came through with flying colors. Everyone was thrilled!

We had a great time with Santa! Our doubtful kids are now totally convinced that Santa is real! They have been talking non stop about Santa! Our family and friends were impressed and we all want to make our Santa visit a new Christmas tradition! Thank you Kris Kringle for a dreamy Christmas!

Kris Kringle was wonderful. Responsive, pleasant, punctual, and truly looks like Santa Claus.
He was awesome and he felt authentic
We booked Kris Kringle for our Christmas Party at our house. We had about 15 kids so imagine how crazy it gets when Santa walks in. Well he handled it like a charm. Patience of a saint, Amazing, perfectly tailored suit, real beard and all the charm you would expect from Santa. Im not sure who loved it more, the kids or the adults. If you are going to book him I recommend getting his night before Christmas book that he will sign and read. I cant say enough good things about his appearance.
Kris is absolutely amazing. So authentic, down to every detail/mannerism/clothing/etc. He engages will children so well and they (along with the adults) were absolutely captivated by him.

I needed a Santa for an in studio portrait event and Kris Kringle was perfect. We communicated via email before my event and he called me the day before to confirm all of the details. He was on time, prepared and ready to go. The kids definitely thought he was the real deal. His facial expressions, the way he followed my directions and interacted with the children made the pictures look authentic and wonderful. I would highly recommend.
I wanted to thank you for making our family Christmas the best ever! You were fantastic!! Our smallest niece Henley, at 16 months, loved being with you. She was scared and cried at all of the "Santa Helpers" until she met you Santa. The rest of the family including Grandma Petrina hasn't stopped talking about how wonderful you were. You brought Christmas back to our home.
We all hope you had a Merry Christmas as well, and a Happy New Year.

Kris was prompt in his arrival. I was a little nervous as we have hosted this breakfast in our home for the past 15 years. When he arrived I have to be honest, all my concerns and worries disappeared.
The kind, warm and relaxed demeanor put me at ease and Kris was totally into the spirit. We are an intense bunch but Kris was absolutely a pleasure to work with. I am supper greatful for the reading of the night before Xmas and it was an amazing Xmas morning!!!

Kris Kringle was everything we could have asked for and more. The look on our grand children's faces as well as the adults was priceless. His personalty was warm and engaging. With God's blessing, we will have Kris back for Christmas next year.

This Santa, "Kris Kringle", was amazing! We hired him to come to our family holiday luncheon. He was so polite and clear in his confirming and lead up emails and texts. He arrived early and looked so handsome in his very authentic looking Santa outfit. He has a beautiful white REAL beard. His Santa bag so nice too from which he gave out the gifts I provided to all the children there. He posed for endless photos and always looked so happy and had great Santa poses! He read The Night Before Christmas and everyone listened with such interest. I'm so thankful to him for making our family a memorable Christmas season!
He was Amaizing !!!!

My daughter and I met this Kris Kringle at a Christmas brunch last December. My daughter was a little hesitant to approach even though he was wonderful with the children before her-but once she did he was warm and full of mirth and merriment. She was soon chatting away and I practically had to pull her away. She spoke about him for the next week and wrote him several letters:)) A perfect Santa experience!
Santa Claus
We hired this Santa last year for a Breakfast with Santa fundraiser. He was professional, prompt, and most of all, super jolly! He was so warm and sweet with the kids and grown-ups alike. And, he was a spot-on Santa, down to the outfit and the voice. My daughter is still convinced that she saw the real-live Santa that day. I would book him in a heartbeat for any event and HIGHLY recommend that you book him, too! This Santa is too good- he will get snatched up quickly!
