Overview
I bring an authentic and heartwarming presence that will light up any gathering. Whether it's a corporate party, community celebration, or a private family event, I know just how to make it unforgettable. From sharing delightful stories and singing festive songs to posing for cherished photos and engaging with everyone young and old. Every moment is filled with the true spirit of Christmas.I believe in making personal connections, spreading kindness, and creating memories that last a lifetime. Your event deserves a Santa who can bring that extra sparkle of joy and laughter.
Nothing says Christmas magic quite like a Santa who cares. Let's make this Christmas the most magical one yet! Ho Ho Ho

For the past two years we have requested Rafael Claus for our church event. This year we hosted over 1,000 people and throughout the entire day people continued to compliment how personable, fun, and jolly Santa was! Let me save you the trouble of wondering who would be the best Santa at your next event, book Rafael Claus today! You won’t find a better Santa!
We had Santa Rafael for our Work Christmas Party recently and he did an amazing job with the kids. Everyone was happy and pleased with Santa Rafael.

Amazing! Truly made our Christmas Eve special
Where do I begin to express my experience with Santa Rafael. He was such a joy to have at our house especially him knowing our Christmas party was going to be for adults, Spanish teachers. We loved the fact that he spoke Spanish as well. He read all the adults a Christmas book in English and Spanish, everyone loved it. We loved his energy and definitely brought joy that night. We can’t wait to have Santa Rafael again next year!

Santa was the absolute best! We had him for our family Christmas party and he made the night so magical! He read to the kids kept them entertained and helped us pass out presents and hung out with us while answering all the kids questions! Thank you Santa! I can't wait to have you back!
I can’t tell you how many people complimented on how awesome Rafael Claus was! He touched the heart and lives of young and old. The kids, teens, young adults and grown ups all LOVED him! His interactions and his love for people really showed! I told him that if I could give him 6 Stars I will book him every time I need a Santa and so should you!
Santa Ralph was a great addition to our Christmas event. He did a wonderful job. He reached out several times before the event to make sure everything was on schedule.
Rafeal Clause was absolutely perfect! Communicative, on time, super friendly with all the guests, young and old. He really set the atmosphere for our party with his jolly personality. We will be using Rafeal at our next team Christmas party!

Rafael Claus was INCREDIBLE! He was in the festive spirit 24/7, he was amazing with questioning kids and very engaging with adults! We had him at a photo booth and then he did a walk around the event and he was SUCH A HIT! Adults were running up to take selfies with him. He truly brought the spirit! I highly recommend to book him, he treated this with such a level of professionalism and he was early too!

We hired Rafael Claus for our school’s Winter Wonderland event. He reached out several times prior to the event to confirm the details which was awesome! He arrived to the event early and was ready to go! Our families loved Santa! They took pictures with him and he was so much fun! Just as jolly as can be! We can’t wait to have him back next year!

Response from Rafael Claus:
“Ho Ho Ho” and thank you so much, it was a fantastic event and the whole crew was amazing the photographers were so awesome, very professional, nice, friendly and patient, the principal “wow” make me feel like I was back in home at the North Pole “Ho Ho Ho” and of course you (the hostess) made it possible for this event to go very smoothly, I can’t wait to work with you again, my congratulations on a successful event.
I was recommended Santa Rafael through a friend and was I impressed! My company was having its annual Christmas party and, quite frankly, it was kinda boring and stale that year. And then Rafael Claus showed up and lit up our party like the Rockefeller Christmas tree! His energy and enthusiasm was the spark that our party needed to make it one to remember! Can’t wait to work with Rockstar Rafael Claus again!

Influences & Inspiration
My mother has been a parent, a coach and a teacher and has affected my life more than any other person I know. She has shown us love and respect and the importance of always getting back up after you fall. She is a survivor and will forever be my hero. As a single parent my mom taught us family is always more important than riches, She has taught us to know no boundaries and to go out and not only get what we want but to enjoy and appreciate the opportunity of the quest. But most importantly we have been raised to know at the end of the day you need to love and appreciate what you have. What I have is a great mom.
My wife and my kids inspired me to take on this role of Santa Claus, they keep telling me that I love the Christmas Season, I always have the Christmas tree and all the outside lights up by thanksgiving, that I love the Christmas music, have a great personality, good sense of humor and that I get along with everyone, my friend, coworkers, the teacher from my grandson school they all know me and I enjoyed playing with my grandkids, because of my family I decided to take on the role of the Man in the Red Suit "Santa Claus" to give joy and happiness to lots of children's when they see me, I'm so grateful and blessed to be able to do this and my dream is to be able to do lots of toy drives to help family with kids that don't have the resources to provide toys to their kids.
Setup Requirements
A chair for Santa to sit and the presents that they want me to give away.
