I booked Santa for our annual Friendsmas celebration and he was a major hit! Looks and acts the part and was so easy to schedule and work with! Went with the flow of the party and the was a big hit with all the kids! There were 17 kiddos and he made sure to see every single one and take a picture with them! And let us do family pics and group pics as well! Will definitely be booking him for this celebration every year!
Surpassed our expectations. Santa was authentic from the top down. Great with the shy children to get them comfortable and fun for adults as well. Allowed us to take many pictures! Nothing but compliments from the entire family.

Thanks for the kind words! You family was great!
He was on time, professional and fantastic with the kids! He made sure we got all the pics we wanted and we couldn’t have asked for better!!! We will make this a yearly tradition!
Had him out to our company event. Very realistic costume, great with the kids and adults as well. We will definitely be booking again.
Best decision hiring this Santa! Came to our event right on time (even early and made sure to communicate upon arrival) The real deal!! Our whole Christmas party LOVED having Santa come and make the night more magical! Recommend booking 💯!!

We hired Kringle Enterprise for our military Christmas party before we deploy. Santa was great with kids and saw every child no matter the age. He also stuck around and took photos with tons of photos. He was the life of the party!!! I would hire him again and again!!!

What an awesome Santa you were the kids truly were surprised by and truly believed you were Santa, you actually sounded like him, very passionate and patient with the kids! Thank you so very much for this amazing memories for my family to cherish for years to come! Karen Herbsleb
We had Santa in for a family Christmas party and he did not disappoint! In fact, we were all blown away at how great of a time we had and it was worth every cent. If you live in the central Illinois area I’m not sure why you would want anyone else. Thank you Santa!!!

Thanks for the kind words! I had a great time at your party! Such a great family!
Merry Christmas!
He was great, really took his time and took photos with all of our friends, he was very fun and easy to get along with.
We rebooked him for our home for the kids on Christmas Eve and he was even better! Took his time with each kid and even handed out our gifts to the kids!

Thanks for the kind words! You guys were awesome to work with.
I was in a scramble to find a Santa and luckily reached out to Kringle Enterprises. He was wonderful to work with! Would definitely recommend. We will be sure to use him for future holiday events.

We had our annual family Christmas gathering and having lost our usual Santa to retirement we hired Kris Kringle. He was great - good communication, on time, engaged really well with the kids and the entire room. We were really happy and have found our new Santa going forward!!
We had a holiday party for our neighborhood kids and had Santa come and surprise the kids each with a small gift. He was patient and wonderful while each child sat on his lap and told him what they want for Christmas. This was something truly magical that the kids will remember forever and so will we as parents.
Our two year old is a huge Santa fan and can be wanting all of Santa’s attention, Kris Kringle was simply amazing with our little guy. He gave him all the attention while also giving gifts to the rest of my family. This was simply a great night! Highly recommend this Santa for all events but especially with little kids!
Santa was the hit of the party. Professional and courteous and a delight with the kids.
Would definitely hire again.

The residents and visitors of our Christmas party enjoyed the Santa. A family was able to take phots with him as other Santa's were booked up. He was very professional, clean and on time. We all Loved Santa.

Chris is an awesome Santa! He is up for anything, very flexible, positive, and jolly!
He worked at our Jingle Bell Run, both indoors and outdoors, taking pictures, walking around, and helping with our costume contest and Kid's Fun Run. We loved having him and would recommend him for any event!
Santa Claus
Response from Kringle Enterprises:
Thanks for the kind words! It was great to work with you! You had a great event!
Chris is wonderful with kids of all ages! If you are local he does other events so your kids could possibly see the same Santa which truly keeps them believing!
Santa Claus
If you want the “Real Santa” as our daughter grew up calling him and not one of those others, call Kris Enterprises. He’s been a part of our family Christmas for over 20 years. You won’t regret it!
Santa Claus
Chris is great with both children and adults. He has been our Santa at the Minier Christmas Parade for many years. He keeps in character when he arrives at the venue and stays in character. Chris is dependable, reliable and we never have to worry about his interaction with children. I can't imagine anyone else playing Santa for us!
Santa Claus
Response from Kringle Enterprises:
