Michael brought so much joy to my childrenโs evening. Witnessing their awe & excitement was a wonderful experience. Two days later, and theyโre still talking about Santa Claus making a special trip to their house! Thank you, Michael, we canโt wait to work with you again next year!

Response from Rhode Island Santa Claus:
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Michael was really great to work with. He was easy to communicate with, arrived on time and was incredible with the children and adults alike. Everyone complimented us on Santa. Can't wait to have him come back again next year.
Here's words of one of our happy customers - "Thank you for an amazing experience today! I would swear to anyone that you had the absolute real deal for Santa! It was such an amazing experience that I hope I can repeat again and again with my granddaughter! Thank you again for giving me an absolute beautiful memory with my little chicken! "
