Overview
Keeping the miracle of Santa alive and well for all the children we interact with is our business!
All of our Santas are real-bearded, sweet, loving men, who have a passion for Christmas and children alike! Our Santas are also thoroughly screened and background checked.
Santa Jim, owner of Best Santas, previously worked as a law enforcement detective investigating crimes against children.
When Santa enters your event, you’ll hear his boisterous HO-HO-HO, and realize it’s so much more than a grand entrance–it’s his laugh! His essence! There is so much more to being Santa than simply putting on a red suit. Santa is a character–he’s magical and in the moment.
Do you believe?!

Hi Jessica! Thank you so much for the kind review! We are so glad to hear that you had a great experience with Santa Ron! He loved being a part of your event and said it was a great turnout! We hope to work with you all again next season. We wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! - Diana and The Best Santas Team
Santa Bill arrived on time and as merry as could be! He had located the gifts per our discussion, and kept them organized for ease of giving. He was SO personable to everyone...he talked to the kids as if he'd known them all year (well, he IS Santa!). He chatted with other guests with a few details from our prior discussion so that one would think he'd known us all of our lives! Well, he IS Santa! I had asked for a special favor (telling a special message whilst giving out best friend bracelets)...he was so authentic that I got teary-eyed as if I hadn't come up with the whole idea myself! Santa Bill, you're the BEST! I hope we get you again next year!

Hi Carrie,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Santa Lawdon enjoyed being with you all that day and we are so glad to hear that your event was a success! We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Diana & The Best Santas Team
Thank you, Best Santas, for a wonderfully magical evening for my Grands! We loved that you (prearranged to) knock on the window and have the kids look out at "who's there?" It was awesome that you had memorized a few details about what family members do so that you could mention sports and activities, as well as sports teams that we are fans of! The photo album from the North Pole was a SUPER touch! We loved singing with you, and that you recruited the kids to help pass out packages. Recommended!
Santa Claus
We had an absolutely fabulous time with Santa Bill. All of my co-workers acknowledged his jolliness and friendliness. We hope to have Santa Bill come and visit next year!

Everyone had an amazing time! Santa brought “ Happy Tears” to many residents. It was beautiful to see.
I would absolutely recommend:)
Santa Claus
Santa was wonderful! He was great with the kids and had pictures of the North Pole which the kids thought was super awesome. Grateful for a great experience.
Santa Claus
Santa Zach was a Rockstar!!! Handed out gifts, read Christmas Stories, and had us all believing...
A moment that many thought would be an OK time with the Dad of the house providing entertainment, changed radically. Needless to say, Santa Alan took control of the situation, and everybody was swept away by his magic!
Santa Claus
Thank you so much for your time, charisma, and cheer at our Christmas party! You did a wonderful job! Absolutely hilarious, kind, and jolly. We all enjoyed you!
Thanks again Merrian!!!!!
Santa Claus
We had such a great time at our annual event this year. Santa Ron was wonderful and so perfect for our group. He was kind and patient and the kids (and parents) loved him. He read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and sang Jingle Bells with us. We are excited to invite Santa Ron back next year!!
Santa Claus
Our Santa was fabulous. He was very professional and engaging with the kids.
Santa Claus
We had Santa Lawden for the second year in a row...he continues to be amazing with kids and adults alike!
Santa Claus
Best Santa's is the real deal! They are professional, caring and REAL Santa's. We have used them for several years for a holiday event and the children and adults are always delighted by the Magic of Santa. Even the kids who "just aren't sure if he is real" end up a believer after their time with our Santa. They won't disappoint!
Santa Claus
We had a wonderful experience with Santa Marion! He was SO good with the kids and full of joy just like you’d expect a Santa to be! He was funny, too!!!
Santa Claus
Ken did a great job. Was flexible, friendly and helped us deliver a great night for our guest.
Santa Claus
Great Santa! I probably could have gotten away with him just dropping by and taking photos with us for about 30 min - 45 min but he was great to have around and everyone really enjoyed taking photos with him. He was definitely the hit of the party!
Santa Claus
Our Santa did an amazing job! He was so engaging with the kids AND the adults. It really felt like Santa was here at our party with us. Our residents couldn't stop smiling. We really couldn't have asked for a better Santa. Thank you so much!
Santa Claus
Great job by Santa (John) on Saturday at our company party. John did a great job and everyone, especially the kiddos, really enjoyed his visit. 100% pleased with our visit from Santa.
Santa Claus
Highly recommend this company. Very professional and super friendly.
Santa Claus
Wonderful character! Looks so realistic, that even the adults had a hard time not believing. Interacted so well with the kids. Read 'Twas the Night before Christmas', and the kids loved it. Great, great guy, and we would love to have him again next year!
We were so impressed with Santa Alan! He did a great job interacting with our nursing home residents. He helped us pass out gifts and made sure to keep an eye on keeping our residents safe. We were overjoyed with the service and were glad to have him part of making our holidays wonderful!
Santa Claus
We booked Santa Allen H for our office Santa meet and greet and he was absolutely fantastic! Not only did he show up on time but he was early! He walked around and greeted people that could not come down and made sure to work with the children to get the absolutely best pictures!
Absolutely phenomenal!
Santa Claus
Santa Lawdon was a fantastic addition to our party! One of the kids said "He smells like candy canes and sugar cookies!" Awesome!
Santa Claus
We had Santa Bill at our event this past Saturday. He was great. The children and parents loved him. He was on time and followed our Santa visit itinerary with ease. Highly recommend!
Santa Claus
Santa Dan did an amazing job. The whole experience from when I did the booking right up until the event was very quick and easy and very professional. Santa arrived right on time and did such a great job entertaining the kids and made our party really special for them (and the parents). I would highly recommend!
Santa Claus
Santa Dan was great! He sang songs and personally connected with each person that came to enjoy the party.
Santa Claus
Thank you for another great year Best Santas!

We loved having Santa Bill at our event. He was professional, on time, very friendly, kind...and jolly. I heard from parents how much they appreciated that he took time to actually listen to each child. We would love to have him back next year.

Hi Steve! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so glad that your event was a success and that everyone enjoyed having Santa Bill and Elf Rene with you that day! We hope to work with you again in the future. Have a great week! -The Best Santa's Team
Santa showed up, parked in garage and loaded up gifts. Came in with bells. Kids woke up to sound and spied on him. Then he saw them and sat down. Put each one on his knee. Sang a song and read a Christmas book. It was magical!! Better then any gift you can buy your kids. It's a memory that will last forever!!
Santa Claus
Santa was great sharing his "family" album of reindeers and elves. Everyone, young and old, enjoyed his Santa tales.
Santa Claus
Santa Allen was wonderful!! He did not mind going out of his way so he could bring in my son's presents! Definitely having him over next year!!!
Santa Claus
I have used Best Santa's for two years now for parties, and we get the Real Santa every time. He is always professional and so very good with the kids! I would recommend Best Santa's to anyone looking for an authentic experience.
Santa Claus
Santa Dan was at our recent community event and we couldn't be more pleased. He is just great with kids and families and must have patiently posed for hundreds of pictures.
Santa Claus
Santa was an absolute joy to have at our party. The interaction with the children was so fun to watch, he sang told stories showed them pictures. Best Santa's will definitely be back next year!!
Santa Claus
The Santa that was sent to our party was Fantastic. He worked well with the kids and all of the Adults kept commenting on how good he looked. Very nice company to work with.
Santa Claus
We hired Best Santas for a 200 person children's event. We had a professional photographer taking photos of the children with Santa. He worked so well with the photographer providing her with many special shots. Our group is still talking about how amazing he was with the children (reading, telling stories, singing). I would highly recommend Best Santas for your holiday event.
Santa Claus
We hired Santa to come to a small, private, corporate holiday party. Santa arrived on time and in character. The children were AMAZED at the sight of him! For one full hour, Santa interacted with the children, showed pictures of his workshop and reindeer, and even helped assemble a toy gift with a group of kids.
BEST EVER!
Santa Claus
Santa was very good. He clearly liked the the children. Very thoughtful remarks to the kids. Very patient. He did a nice job.
Santa Claus
Santa Josh and Amanda the Elf were wonderful at the Univ. of Northern Colorado Men's Basketball game on Dec. 16th. Santa walked in and immediately said hello to as many fans as possible and when I went to introduce myself he said, "Of course, I've known you your whole life!" which just made my heart melt.
I highly recommend this crew for any event as they truly capture and spread the magic of the Christmas season.
Santa Claus
The Santa exceeded our expectations. He called ahead to confirm details. The children really enjoyed his visit. Two of the younger ones are wary of santas but he sat on the floor and just both came right to him. Thanks for providing a great experience!
Santa Claus
We loved our Santa Lawdon! he is great with children even the ones who are very shy. He warmed them up and made them smile. He made each child out of thirty feel very special.
Thank you Santa Lawdon! we will wait for you the next year...
Santa Claus
I hired Santa Allen to visit the 6 year old daughter of a friend of mine who had not been able to "get to the mall" to see Santa this year as she had not been feeling well. I found out the morning of December 23rd that my friends were having a dinner party, including their kids, that night. I contacted Best Santas and Santa Jim could not have been more helpful and easy to work with. We booked Santa Allen that afternoon and he visited my friends house that night. The little girl was so excited, her parents said it was magical. Thanks to all the "Best Santa's" for bringing the joy of Christmas to everyone, especially the kids!
Santa Claus
Thank you Best Santas for sending us the REAL Santa to our holiday party! The kids and adults LOVED him so much! He spent special time with each child, posed for selfies with the adults and brought that special magic of Christmas to our party!
He was so authentic one of the little girls was disappointed when she opened her party gift because it wasn't what she asked him for!
We loved our Santa and would recommend Best Santa's to anyone looking for Santa to come to your party or event! Thank you!
Santa Claus
Best Santa's did a great job, he really looked like Santa, the elves did a wonderful job face painting the kids loved it. I would recommend them to everyone.
Santa Claus
Santa was the BEST...very engaged with the kids. He really listened and chatted with the kids! If you can, please pass on the word to him what a great job he did!
Santa Claus
We had a work event and used Best Santas. Santa was amazing. He was very engaging and great with kids. Every client commented on how much they loved him. Thanks so much.
Santa Allen visited our company holiday party and was spectacular. He handed out gifts, sang with the kids and read The Night Before Christmas to them. He was so realistic and great with the children. We highly recommend him for your party.
Santa Claus
Best Santas was amazing. Every one was raving about such an incredible experience where the kids got to interact with Santa more than just pictures and a quick hello. He was kind, and so well prepared. We will definitely use this company again.
Santa Claus
Santa Joshua was awesome! He arrived in character and never broke it. He was jolly but not ridiculous. His suit, beard, makeup and everything were top notch. The kids all loved talking to him, hugging him, and getting photos. No complaints whatsoever. Thank you for a fantastic experience.
Santa Claus
Wonderful and so easy to wok with! Very happy children and adults at our event!
Santa Claus
Santa Bud made a "surprise" visit with our family & our little Josephine on Christmas Eve. He was fabulous!!!! Josephine had a small bucket of cookies for Santa and he shared some with her. It was so cute the way the two of them interacted together. It was one of our best Christmas' in many years. Thank you, Santa Bud. Hope to see you next year.
Santa Claus
I simply don’t know where to begin. Santa Bud joined us for a charity event we were having for some needy families in our area. To start, he was there well ahead of the start of the event and had plenty of time to really understand what we wanted to be able to do for these families. Visually, he truly WAS Santa, inside and out. He truly embodied the spirit of Santa!
When the kids started to arrive, their mouths popped open in surprise and excitement that Santa was actually there! Santa Bud welcomed them with open arms, read stories and showed his reindeer photo album (a HUGE hit)! During lulls in the arrivals, he mingled with our guests, held babies and even got down on the floor to be eye level to the littlest ones.
We simply cannot impress strongly enough how wonderful he was…and we intend to book him next year. We’re so grateful! For most (or all) of these families, this was the ONLY Christmas event they could attend and to have such a genuine and caring Santa to make it so special was more that we could have ever dreamed.
You’re definitely on the “Nice” list!
Santa Claus
Santa Bud came to our corporate Christmas party and wowed everyone. More importantly, he brought magic to the hearts of all the kids. Personally, before the party I was growing concerned that my 7 year old, first grade little girl was becoming suspicious about Santa's authenticity. Santa Bud restored her belief in the magic that only Santa can bring. On the way home from the party, she said, "Mom, we met the real deal tonight. And Santa is so cool," thank you for giving us one more year of unjaded Christmas magic.
Santa Claus
Best Santas made the most amazing experience I could have asked for! We had a family Christmas party and Santa gave all the kids and young at heart the best memories! They had great communication before our party and engaged all during our party! My kiddos cant stop talking about our Santa visit and all the adults loved our visit just as much! Hands down the best experience I could have asked for!
Santa Claus
There is a reason that this company is called "Best Santas"!! I had the opportunity to be the photographer for this Santa at an event this past weekend. I was in the other room when Santa arrived but I could hear him through the walls with his jolly "Ho Ho Ho" and jingle bells. He was perfect from the very start! With all the children he had such a warm and caring demeanor - greeting them as they came in with a hug and warm welcome. He even told stories to some of the children, which I have never seen before from Santa. He also knew a TON about popular children's toys - you should have seen the look on the kids' faces when he would tell them more about the toys they requested -- such joy and magic! Also, he was considerate of his relation to the camera and would move his head so slightly to be in the frame if the child on his lap was blocking his face (this is a huge deal to a photographer!) I would recommend this Santa to anyone looking for the real deal and I hope to be able to work with him again in the future!
Santa Claus
We had the pleasure of working this particular Santa for a few hour long event. He was AMAZING! He knew exactly how to interact with the kids, was always upbeat, and made the whole experience perfect. If you are ever looking to have Santa at an event look no further... he is your best bet! I plan on using him for our office Christmas event for years to come.
Santa Claus
We booked Santa, Mrs. Claus, and little Elf to come visit our annual Christmas party and they did a wonderful job! They were right on time and Santa greeted the children with such enthusiasm. Their costumes looked amazing and every detail was thought of. The kids were so enthralled and amazed. Mrs. Claus did face painting and it was cute, quick, and it stayed on my daughter's face overnight which is always a bonus! They stayed for the entire time even though our party had a lot of no-shows. They talked to each and every child and made a point to be very nice, in character, and enthusiastic. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a very realistic Santa! We will definitely book them again next year.
Santa Claus
Santa and Mrs. Claus came to our Christmas party and were amazing! They brought two face painting elves, which was a great addition to the party. Santa was so friendly and outgoing with the kids. Mrs. Claus was an awesome facilitator and the face painters were great! We've very pleased and will most certainly have Santa and crew back for next year's party!
