I am a professional, real-bearded Santa serving all of New England. I take enormous pride in providing the most authentic and enjoyable Santa experience for you and your guests. It goes well beyond the red suit and white beard. It is my goal to have a unique, personal interaction with each child at your home party or event and give your family a truly magical Santa experience.
I am available for home visits (whether you’re hosting a party or just want a magical Santa experience for your children), corporate holiday parties, professional photo sessions (your photographer or mine), and community events throughout New England.
Santa was great at my event. Entertained the kids and made sure everyone had a good time. Even did some social media content for us!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you for having me Nick!
This past weekend Santa came to the studio for holiday mini sessions. I had 8 families from 11-2pm and every session went off without a hitch. He was kind and let the kids who needed extra time to warm up. I'm looking forward to having him back next season!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Meri! It was great working with you and I am looking forward to next year!!
Santa Alan arrived early, was easy to communicate and plan with. The kids LOVED him. The real deal. Thank you santa Alan!
New England Santa was a great addition our family Christmas Party. We don't have many children so he was great with taking pics with all the adults and leading us in Christmas songs!! We will definitely book him again!
New England Santa came to our party and was a DELIGHT! The kids LOVED him and didn't want him to stay after he spent nearly an hour after gifts playing soccer with them!! We will definitely be inviting him back next year :)
We hired him to come to my sons Christmas in July birthday party and was amazing. All of the parents raves about how great he was and the kids of course loved him! He visited with the kids, danced with them, told them a story and took pictures! Oh and he wore very warm clothes on a hot summer day. I would definitely hire him again!
Santa was perfect for our family holiday event. He did not disappoint and remembered all of the kids names and what they liked. We were so lucky to have him
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you for the wonderful review and thank you for choosing me to help you celebrate the holidays this year!
He is absolutely the real deal. He brought wonderful Christmas spirit and helped us navigate a safe visit. He was able to converse effortlessly with our kids with detailed knowledge of all things important in their world, e.g., paw patrol characters, how he gets in with a gas fireplace, etc. You cannot find a better Santa experience.
Absolutely amazing! The kids loved him and thought he was the real Santa. Highly recommend very interactive with the children. Thank you for making our party a huge success.
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Steve! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
The New England Santa Claus is no doubt the best around. He is so perfect for the job. He has a way with kids that leaves your heart so happy. At our event every child and every parent was amazed by Santa. Everyone told me how he is the best Santa they have ever worked with! We will definitley be hiring Santa again in the coming years for sure. Thank you so so so much Santa, you brought the holiday spirit in full swing!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you so much for those kind words Dani! I look forward to seeing you all again next year!
Santa Alan did a fantastic job. His interaction with the kids was perfect. You could not go wrong booking him!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you so much Mary!
Santa Alan come to our family event of approximately 45 people with around 15 kids. Santa Alan came in and was completely engaged with the kids and made them all feel comfortable. He gave out presents, talked to each child and even got on the floor and played with each one of them. He took every picture we asked for and we all loved having him there to bring us our holiday cheer!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Wayne! It was my pleasure to help your family celebrate this year.
What a gem! Santa Alan was so wonderful for my family party. My son was just in awe of Santa who was so patient and kind and let the kids warm up to him on their own time. He even stayed and played with my son on the floor with all the toys and read a story my son brought to him in addition to the traditional “Night before Christmas”. The kids and the adults all loved Santa and were excited to take extra pictures with him. Santa was authentic and so gentle. Thank you Santa Alan for making our party so special. According to my 3 year old you are the REAL Santa.
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you for those kind words Thalia! I had so much fun visiting with you amd your wonderful family.
Santa Alan far exceeded my expectations at our annual community movie screening! I can say for certain that Santa Alan is absolutely wonderful with children, and stays completely in character the entire time. He is able to quickly navigate tough questions from kids (ie. "I want a pony for Christmas!), and can pick up on even the slightest social cues when it comes to dealing with children who have cognitive/physical disabilities. I was honestly blown away with his performance, and look forward to using him again next year!
Santa Alan was fantastic!! He came to our house for a xmas brunch. The kids loved him! So personable, arrived on time, very professional. Would highly recommend him. We will use him again next year. Thanks Santa Alan for making our brunch extra special.
Response from New England Santa Claus:

Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Debbie! I had a wonderful time at Little Seeds. Looking forward to seeing you next year.
Santa Alan was outstanding! He meet with our two grandkids, 5yrs and 9months. He was really great with both ages. He was patient, funny and most certainly captivating. He is worth every cent!!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Amy! Have a wonderful holiday!
I cannot say enough about Santa Alan!! He is the real deal. Santa Alan came to our family party and knocked it out of the park!! He is so realistic, fantastic with the kids and adults, and even read us a story! My family can’t stop talking about it and already wants to book for next year.
Trust me, book Santa Alan, you can’t go wrong!
Santa Alan was great at our family Christmas Party. He was friendly and professional throughout the process. He was flexible and related to the kids well and he even posed for some pictures with the adults! I'd definitely use Santa Alan again. Thanks Santa Alan!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Nina. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
He was Fantastic. I would recommend.
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Ashley. I had great time at the Jingle Bell Run. Looking forward to working with your organization again!
Santa Alan was so great to work with...not only does he look the part (my kids are convinced he was the real deal!!), but he is unbelievable with children of all ages. I would highly recommend Santa Alan!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you so much for those kind words and thank you for allowing me to be part of this great event. I look forward to working with you again!
Santa Alan came to a small holiday party at my home and was Amazing. He's great with kids, so engaging and enchanting. They sat right up while he read a story and waited patiently for their gifts to be handed out. Will definitely use Santa Alan again!!
Santa Alan was absolute dream come true! For three hours at our Beer Hall in Providence both young and old were absolutely delighted in what many described as “their best Santa experience ever!” Santa Alan is the true embodiment of the spirit of Christmas and it was a day none of us will ever forget. We are already looking forward to next year and making this an annual event!
Alan was kind, thoughtful, and listened to all of the kids. He had a great way of keeping their attention and giving them positive feedback for being so patient. He was very respectful about which kids were comfortable sitting on his lap and which kids needed some space. We will definitely be using Alan every year moving forward!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to visit with you and your family and I look forward to many more to come.
Absolute proffessional! Thorough communication throughout the entire process. Santa Alan is second to none. Completely blown away on the authenticity and spontaneous ability to adapt and deliver. What a great experience! Thanks again!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you for the kind words and for allowing me to be part this special experience. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Santa Alan was wonderful to work with - he was responsive leading up to the event, and when things ran late, he adapted to the schedule and improvised on the spot. The kids loved him and had a great experience!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Stephanie. It was a pleasure working with you and all the folks at NextJump.
Santa Alan
Had a wonderful experience Santa got down on the floor and played with our son and made all the kids feel really happy
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Ben! It was my pleasure.
Santa Alan was our Santa for this year's family party. His professionalism and performance were excellent! We had our party in a rented hall with about 60 adults and 10 kids between 2 and 10 years of age. His soft spoken demeanor was great - especially for the younger kids. He passed out the gifts to the kids and took unlimited pictures. All of the kids loved him and believed he was the real deal. We will hire Santa Alan again next year. Thanks Santa Alan!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you Mick! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I have gotten nothing but applause from the parents attending our photo fundraiser for Toys for Tots for Santa Alan. Everything about him was perfect, from his sunny personality, to the details of his outfit. He engaged every child who came up to him and made them feel special, even knowing what the cool toys were and talking with the kids about them. All of the photos with him were fun and fabulous! He is a Professional, and the difference was clear not just to me, but to the regulars of our event. As the organizer of many events, I was also very grateful that he had helped to promote our fundraiser on social media too - that was pretty awesome. Santa Alan IS Santa Claus and I can't wait to have him back next AND have him in the studio for some photo sessions with Santa. Thanks Santa Alan!!!
Response from New England Santa Claus:
Thank you for the kind words Lauren and for putting this fantastic event together. I can't wait to come back next year!
