Overview
When I put on one of my eight professionally made suits, I am Santa. I have special suits for pets, parades, Santa's Workshop and Santa's Office, mall appearances and photography sittings and more casual wear. My accessories include a leather scroll with Naughty/Nice notations (in Elfin language), Gift Bag, bells in different tuneings, "I got caught being Good" coins, magic key for homes without a chimney, etc. Over 20 years of being a Real Bearded Santa. I work exclusively with Jack Frost, a true Pied Piper of children for wrangling, entertainment and a photo opportunity in his own right. Jack helps to alleviate fears in children who may be apprehensive of Santa.

We had a fantastic time!
Holiday Entertainment
My event had 50+ kids in attendance..all anxiously expecting to see and take pictures with Santa. Well, Santa Jonathan and Jack Frost did not disappoint!! They were an amazing team and the children and parents absolutely loved having them there. Very professional and oh-so-jolly! I will definitely book early for next year.

Palm Desert Santa is just what you'd hope for. A guy who looks, sounds, and has the spirit of Santa perfected. He made a great impression at our event and Jack Frost played an important part in helping with the few children and ALL of the adults at the event. A perfect combo. They were a great compliment to our event and very professional as well. Highly recommended.
