Koach Kringle was amazing! This is the 3rd year using him and we will continue every year as long as he is available. Absolutely incredible!
Truly exceptional, was my second year with Koach Kringle and he is the best Santa ever. The kids loved him and their little hearts just lit up with joy when he walked inthe house.
We absolutely enjoyed Santa! It was blissfully Christmas magic 1000% and we all felt 5 years old again!! My son told his friends about meeting the REAL Santa, and it made my heart smile so big! We can’t wait to book next year!

Santa arrived on time for our family Christmas get-together. The surprise and joy on my family's faces, children and adults, was priceless!! He was great with our 7 grandchildren ranging in age from 2 1/2 to 15! Each child had a "visit" with Santa. Our youngest was scared at first, but Santa knew just what to do. By the end of his visit, she was sitting on his lap telling him just what she wanted. This is a Christmas that my family will never forget! Thank you Koach Kringle!
Response from Koach Kringle:

Koach Kringle attended our holiday school event. He was wonderfully interactive with the students. He has answers to all the Santa questions, fully in character at all times. Several parents commented, “Look. He’s the real deal!” We’ll definitely be repeat clients. 👍🏻
Koach Kringle did it again! We had him for our company’s annual Christmas party last year and was so thrilled with him that we hired him again. BEST decision ever! What a wonderful experience for everyone. We had a slight glitch with our photobooth so he took charge and went around to all the families and took pics until the problem was solved. Extremely professional and such a joy with all the families. He brought Christmas magic to our event. Merry Christmas Koach Kringle!!!

We hired Koach Kringle for a holiday event for our preschool. Everything about the experience was wonderful! He called to confirm details before the event. He sent an updated background check. He arrived early. He looked amazing and was absolutely wonderful with the children. He took time to speak to each child before and after the photos. We are grateful for his communication, professionalism and for making this event so memorable!
We've previously used a family member dressed as Santa. What a mistake as we could have had the real Santa all along!!
Koach was super easy to communicate with with prior to the big arrival. Not only did he make the night special for 7 kids, he had some old folks believing!
Unbelievable value! No need to look further.
Response from Koach Kringle:

This is the 2nd time Koach Kringle has paid a visit to our neighborhood. He is easy to work with, communicative, flexible, shows up early and makes sure he is crystal clear on expectations and entrance as well as taking time to take photos and hear from every child. He does a wonderful job. I highly recommend him.
Koach Kringle is the best Santa ever! Continues to amaze the guest. This was the 2nd year We used him, and plan to use him for many more. Easy booking shows up early stays till everyone’s done. All around a great performer. If you’re looking at hiring a Santa look no further.

Koach Kringle is the real Santa Clause! He was able to not only able to amaze but entertain a group of 11 children under the age of 5years old with book, song, and special one on one time!
The kids were so excited!!! Santa was so personal and loving!!! He totally captured everyone’s heart!
Thank you for filling our home with such joy. We will always treasure these beautiful memories!!

Koach Kringle knows what he is doing and is Santa to perfection! We held our annual kids Santa Brunch at my home and this year kicked it up a notch! As the kids finished up their letters to Santa activity, a loud jingle came from the door, and there was Santa!!! The kids ran to him and hugged on him. He then sat and read The Night Before Christmas, sang Rudolph, and gave time to each child (16 plus 2 babies) for photos and time with Santa! He had a quick and witty response to each of the many questions the kids had and he even went as far as mentioning my daughters elf on the shelf by name! She was absolutely thrilled! I highly recommend Koach Kringle, he is professional, was 15 minutes early, and loves on your children as the real Santa would!

Koach Kringle was amazing! We booked last minute but he still took time to talk with us beforehand to ensure he understood what we needed and expected for our event. He engaged with the children and adults and made sure each person in the room experienced Santa's Christmas spirit. His genuine love for the kids was apparent and they felt extra special as he took his time and spoke to each of them.
Thank you, Koach Kringle! We look forward to seeing you in the future!

Koach Kringle arrived at our house 15 minutes early. He came in the front door jingling bells and saying Hohoho! The kids were so surprised, and immediately ran to him with hugs. He read ‘Twas the a night Before Christmas , sang Rudolph, gave the kids a magic key, cards with all the reindeer pictures on them, was patient while we took a million pictures, and loved the grandkids. It was truly a magical night! Thank you Koach Kringle for making us all believe!

We hired Koach Kringle for our company Christmas event and cannot say enough nice things about him. He was extremely profession, courteous, and did everything he could to make sure the children enjoyed their Santa experience. His suit was gorgeous and we received so many comments about how "legit" he looked... he's the real deal. He even made sure all the kids left before he did so they wouldn't see him getting into his car as opposed to a sled. You can tell he takes immense pride in what he does. I would highly recommend Koach Kringle for your event.
Response from Koach Kringle:
🎄A really fun and energetic Christmas event … the management was outstanding and the evening well organized … lots of fun was had by the customers and everyone involved … thanks for including me! 👍🎅🏻🇺🇸
Koach is the real deal! We’ve had him come to our annual kids Santa party the past two years. He is on time, does a great job with the kids, and the photos are superb! Highly recommend him!
Koach Kringle was truly amazing, such a magical Christmas party for my daycare. He was so Jolly, kind, patient and had a truly amazing Christmas spirit. The kids, their parents and myself had the absolute best time of our lives. This was a Christmas Party that was filled with a lifetime of memories that will be cherished forever. Thank you Koach Kringle 🎅🎄🎅

Koach Kringle was great for my annual Christmas party. He was on time, interacted with everyone great and the kids LOVED him. Getting the attention of little ones, much less getting them to sing during a large gathering is difficult but he did and they loved it.
Our experience was nothing short of Christmas magic. Koach Kringle is responsive, prompt, kind and witty. Did great with our young group. Will definitely book again.
Response from Koach Kringle:

Koach Kringle was really enthusiastic, lively, and spent time with each child and family at our party. He was thorough, made sure everyone got a picture who wanted one, and he came prepared with little activities for the kids and led them in a few Christmas songs. We've hired Santa's before who were underwhelming and this was our best experience yet. Thank you, Koach Kringle!!

Koach Kringle joined our family to help us create a memorable and very, very special Christmas Eve gathering. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience with Koach throughout the entire process. He did a thorough job in planning the event, communicating and learning about our family- especially the grandchildren who were the priority. He remembered even the small details we had discussed. On the big day, he arrived right on time, and helped to make sure everyone was feeling comfortable. He won over the grandchildren right away, with stories and songs and gift-giving. The "magic key" tradition was magical and memorable! Santa's arrival was the highlight of our family Christmas celebration and I would recommend Koach Kringle without hesitation!
Response from Koach Kringle:
What a great Christmas Celebration and fun family ... they were awesome! ... everyone was engaged in the event! ... it was my pleasure to be your Santa ... I am extremely happy to have helped make a “magical” Christmas experience for your family ... Thank You for a great environment!
Koach was the very best Santa Claus!!! He made sure that he knew about the kids at the event and it made his believability incredible. My 35 year old daughter had the initial reaction of utter belief! Haha! He reads The Night Before Christmas and gives little presents to the kids. It was a magical experience!
Response from Koach Kringle:
What a great visit and thanks for the opportunity of celebrating the Christmas Spirit with your family ... it was my pleasure to be your Santa ... MERRY CHRISTMAS!
We had Koach Kringle come out to our home to see our son who's currently undergoing chemotherapy. Koach Kringle was very communicative, interactive, and even got our son to willingly sit on his lap to read a book and talk about Christmas. We're so incredibly thankful for our experience, and Highly recommend Koach Kringle.
Response from Koach Kringle:
What a special boy who is blessed with exceptional parents and grandparents ...

God Bless you all!
Having Santa at the cookie exchange made the ladies (kids at heart) feel very special. Many of them changed their Facebook profile photo to be with them and Santa!
Response from Koach Kringle:
What an absolute fun time! ... the ladies at the Cookie Exchange were awesome to engage with ... there was plenty of Christmas Spirit and Holiday Cheer! ... I really enjoyed my opportunity to be their Santa ... MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Koach Kringle,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! We all had a wonderful time.
We had 8 kids under the age of 4. He was absolutely wonderful with them. He was early. Made sure I got everything I hoped for. He was so patient with everyone. I highly recommend him.
We hope to see you back next year.
Kris Kringle absolutely has a fantastic personality that fits all ages of children. He literally had the 12 year old's full attention, and the younger kids couldn’t stop smiling. My family was so excited and they couldn’t stop telling me what a fantastic and memorable time they all had. My wife & I Agree with this 1000%! I recommend this Santa for your Christmas celebrations. Your kids will love him!!
Thanks Santa Kris Kringle & Merry Christmas

A great experience ... thank you for including me in your event!
Koach Kringle was amazing to work with. He was so responsive and detailed in the outline of the event and was diligent in answering questions and in communicating, which is one of the most important things to me. He was visiting for my 4 years olds birthday and did a great job celebrating the occasion and also attending to each child one by one. We had lots of time for pictures. He read a story and sang Rudolph with everyone. We had kids from 1 to 15 and quite a few adults as well and everyone had a great time. Most importantly he really looks like Santa! I would highly recommend Koach Kringle!
Response from Koach Kringle:
