Santa D was a fabulous addition to our daughter's first birthday party! The children and adults alike loved getting pictures taken with Santa and watching his card tricks, even as the kids started to go home he still found a way to make himself relevant at the party. Such great vibes and would absolutely have him at any of our future Christmas gatherings. Thank you Santa D!

Great to meet you - your friends and family at this important Birthday Party!
I'm working on a few more tricks for next year.

His costume is great and the real beard made the non-believers believe. He was great with the kids and parents. Spent time after the party teaching the teenage volunteers magic card tricks. Definitely booking for next year.

Response from Santa D:
Thank you for your kind words.
Always happy to share some magic with others - Christmas or cards!!
Santa D was punctual, had an impressive appearance with a full bag of surprises. The kids were thrilled when he arrived, and Santa went above and beyond by reading books, distributing pre-arranged gifts, taking memorable photos, and even putting on an entertaining show. Overall, a delightful experience Can’t wait to see Santa D again next year

Thanks for having me!
Merry Christmas!
Santa didn't appear to be well prepared, got there late (parking) and left early. More expensive for half the time.
Santa Claus
Response from Santa D:
Unfortunately there was an event at the building next door at the same time and all the parking for both buildings were blitzed for parking. (A spot was not reserved for Santa)
I was not willing to park illegally and acceptable city parking was blocks away.
When I eventually jockeyed for a spot in the parking lot - I arrived in the doorway 5 minutes after the scheduled time for the 30 minute visit. When I got back into my car at the end of the visit 27 minutes had elapsed.
A full refund has been offered to this Client.
Excellent day. Santa was great with the kids . A lot of little ones and those on the cusp that like to test the beard. So was important the beard was real. A lot of great photos to put in our memory books. Thank you Santa.

Thanks for having me.
And to all a good night !!
All went well. Santa D communicated well prior to our party. He asked us what we were wanting and looking for. He followed through. He was prompt, fun and cared about our party from start to finish. Had fun with the entire party/staff + of 40.
We trusted Santa D with our event, so can you. If you are looking for a Santa....book with Santa D.

Santa D was a huge hit at our Holiday Party! The kids and parents were all so impressed. Super friendly, and was willing to spend time with all of the kids and get involved in activities. Was also so helpful to our staff!
Holiday Entertainment, Santa Claus
Santa D is a perfect Representation of our favourite Christmas visitor. Immediate comments from parents of nine children in our extended family were ecstatic for his humour and authenticity. He answered all the questions from the kids and opened their eyes to a little Santa magic to attract their attention and then reward it with Candy Cane and good wishes. Book him next year? Of course!
Holiday Entertainment, Santa Claus
Santa D was excellent! He engaged with all ages and worked with parents who wanted pictures but kids didn't! He was friendly and 100% prepared for the day. We will have him back!

Current High School Vice Principal - I first was Santa at one of our school events. Loved it - students enjoyed my character and 'the rest is history'.
This year I will be doing regular mall Santa work, but will be available Friday, Saturday and Sunday for private parties / business gatherings / community events / other promos.
In the past 3 years I attended Pro Santa School (Newmarket), Michigan area Santa Seminar (twice) and the School 4 Santas two day online course.
Looking forward to hearing about your event and how I can help you make it magical and memorable !
Additional Booking Notes
I can fit into wherever you want me to appear (indoors, outdoors, etc.)

Influences & Inspiration
In my travels, I have 'rubbed shoulders' with many Santa Portrayal Artists. We sharpen each other up by sharing stories, experiences and the joy of the Christmas Season. Some of my most valuable experiences have been at Santa School in Newmarket July 2022 and at an Annual Santa Conference in Saginaw Michigan August 2023 and 2024.
Jeff Gilroy enhanced my market appeal early in my career - I frequently look to Santa Gee and Santa Bruce for inspiration and guidance in this industry.
Kilt A Claus, Real Beard Santa andSanta Chad are valued cohorts.
Setup Requirements
I bring myself and my Santa sack. Please provide a chair and any other furniture needed for photo opportunitites.
