Santa John was so wonderful to work with! We booked him for our 2 day Christmas Market. He was great at communicating and keeping us up to date with his ETA and schedule. He was promptly on time and on schedule both days and was so gracious to even extend his time for us once we realized we had a larger turnout than expected. I received so many wonderful compliments from vendors and guests during our event on how much they enjoyed watching and interacting with our Santa! He has a genuine jolly Santa laugh which many people enjoyed and all of the kids felt very welcomed by his presence! Not only did he sit to take pictures with kids, but he also walked around the event to engage with children and guests, danced with our musicians, peeked in at the kids in the bounce house (they all stopped bouncing and ran right to him), and always stayed in character through it all. He was so kind and accommodating towards us and we will definitely be working with him for future events! If you’re looking for a genuine, jolly Santa, Santa John is your guy!

Thanks for the kind words Wendy, Tom and all the staff were great!
Looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2025!
Santa was awesome and was a hit at our Christmas in July Pool Party! He arrived in his summer vacation attire and all the kids - and parents too- were so excited to see him! Santa sat with the kids and families to talk about Christmad lists, vacation plans and even posed for photos! He also gave us lots if updates on the Nortb Pole, Elves and Reindeer. The kids also loved the reindeer toss game that he brought along to play. Thank you so much for the amazing experience, Santa!!

Santa visited us on Christmas Eve and truly was the hit of the party. Kinda, gentle funny and magical are some of the adjectives you would use to describe his visit! If you are considering a Sant for the holidays, you can be certain he will fit the bill.

We greatly enjoyed having Santa come to our holiday party. He took pictures with our employees, handed out gifts and helped with our games. We are so glad we hired him!

Thank you, Joshua, it was a pleasure attending your holiday festivities and meeting all the great families and children.
Today was our event at our business with Santa. We are community focused farm store and we had an event open to the public for visits with Santa. Central pa Santa absolutely blew us away. An incredible Santa with a true heart for kids. It came out in every interaction. You could tell he wanted to be there and was focused on each child even with a very busy afternoon.
We will never book anyone but central pa Santa.

It was a pleasure working with a fantastic director and a very supportive team of media and marketing professionals at Giant/Martins.
Santa was awesome! He took a break from his summer vacation and came to our Christmas in July pool party! Santa was very communicative prior to the event and even brought a little magic with him! Everyone at the party, old and young, had a great time with Santa! I highly recommend him for your event!

Thank you for the kind words, you had a super pool party and I was very happy to be a part of the celebration.
Santa was so great and professional I almost thought he was real!!! He had a bag of tricks that were spot on. The kids loved him along with the adults. He was so worth it. I would recommend him to everyone.

What to Expect
I will be the very entertaining and interactive Santa at your event.
As a seasoned Improvist, I can easily adapt to unique situations or help fill time if something has gone off track.
With my background as a Magician, I keep several magical effects at close hand to perform as needed.
Spending much time in the chair, I have crafted techniques to handle the shy/scared/overactive children and create a great experience for them and their caregivers/parents.
About
Having been a Magician for over 25 years, when my beard got white I decided to don the Red Suit.
I have been entertaining for over 40 years as an actor and comedian.
I have been performing Improv for the last 20 years.
I have put many years of entertainment knowledge into my portrayal of Santa Claus and proudly perform as if I was the Jolly Old Elf himself.
