Santa Al Hockaday

Lovely time,

Great Santa

Santa Al was wonderful! He was great with the kids and adults! He answered all of the kids questions and made them feel comfortable enough to ask! We will definitely be using him again next year.

Kids loved him. He had awesome stories to tell the kids.

Santa Al added the perfect touch to a holiday party, everyone enjoy taking photos and chatting with him!

We run an entertainment business where the public can come out to Texas Motor Speedway and drive and/or ride in our authentic racecars at speeds up to 160mph! We hired Santa Al Hockaday to come out and mingle with our guests while they waited their turn to get in the NASCAR racecars! He did a fantastic job! Very jolly and very fun! We will definitely hire him again!!!

Every year now Santa Al brings the very best present a kiss could want! He coordinates with his elves and Snowflake (Elf on the Shelf) to fine out what she really wants and delivers in perfect timing. Couldn't be better!

Santa was AMAZING and all our kiddos loved him. He did Q&A and he had an answer for every question and NEVER missed a beat! We will be booking him in the future!

He was on time and good at communicating. I was thinking he would be a little more engaged and into the role for a bunch of preschoolers. I understand he wasn’t feeling well so maybe he was just tired from that.

Santa was great…

It was great!

We hired him for a resident event and he did an amazing Job. The kids loved him and believed he was the real life Santa.

Santa Al Hockaday is a true gem! He is funny, personable, and was loved by ALL. I will 100% be calling him next year!

Santa was great! The kids loved him, he was patient and festive. Showed up on time, great communication, and extremely cheerful. I highly recommend!

Santa came to my house to deliver presents this year,not only did he entertain the children but the adults were absolutely delighted with his interaction and great sense of humor. He was the real deal.

Santa brought so much JOY and JOLLY to our 2020 Christmas Party! Santa engaged throughout the entire evening with many Ho Ho's and you can see from the photos how you will want SANTA at your Christmas parties. The guests whispered in Santa's ear letting him know what they want for Christmas and Santa gave me different and wonderful expressions while listening. Thank you SANTA and we will see you next year!

Santa Al was wonderful. He communicated with us in advance to ensure that he and we knew exactly what we all wanted to happen. He made sure we were ready, and then when he came in the fun began. The girls were ecstatic! Even with the covid restrictions, we all had a great time.

Santa Al was amazing and wonderful with our wide range of ages. He's such a nice man and truly enjoyable.

We absolutely loved Santa Al!! He did such a great job and helped make so many wonderful memories for our family. We plan to use him again next year and the year after and so on. He was so good with the kids... also funny and kind. My dad loved him too lol. He arrived early and stayed for a long time. BEST Santa ever!!! I highly recommend using Santa Al.

Santa Al was a great addition to our family dinner last night. He was engaging with each of my eight grandchildren and made the night memorable. He was great in communicating before, during and after event to make the experience smooth. He was able to discuss things that had been written to him with information we shared ahead of time. The kids got all sorts of life lessons from Santa - from drivers ed to the importance of family. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a "real Santa" experience.

Santa Al was great. He took the time before the event to “know” my granddaughter and was able to share that information during his visit. He worked with me in not only surprising her but her parents. He was amazing with his Santa stories and even helped her with her alphabet!! Highly recommend Santa Al

Santa was truly the best find and experience for our kids Christmas party! He was absolutely a treasure and we highly recommend him.

Wonderful time!

He knew how to entertain the adults and kids alike! I can’t say enough good things about him. He knew how to keep the conversations moving and knew how to make everyone smile and laugh with tons of Santa stories and antics! A Merry Christmas for sure!

Santa Al was amazing! He really connected with the kids and adults. We really enjoyed having him as our Santa for the second year in a row.

Santa Al was excellent with interacting with the children.

We have had the same Santa Claus attend ours and our friends parties for the past 17 years. He was sick in the hospital and had to cancel. I found GigSalad online and reached out requesting a quote two days before our scheduled party. Santa Al responded immediately with availability. I was so impressed, and so thankful!

We had the pleasure of having Santa Al come to our Christmas party this year. He was incredible! From the moment he walked in the door, he started talking with the kids and telling him about his reindeers. He passed out the gifts to each child and also read The Night Before Christmas.
The kids asked Santa many questions, and Santa Al had all of the answers. The adults were all impressed with the way he interacted with the group.

Thank you for making our night very special!

Santa Al was a blast! He was professional and punctual. Great surprise for an adult party!

Santa Al Hockaday was Amazing!!! He did such a great job, the kids loved him!!! I would definitely recommend him for your Christmas party needs!!!

Hello I am trying to reach out to Santa Al, would like to book him for a small gathering here at our facility

Santa seem to have indulged in thanksgiving events the day before. His hair and clothing did not seem clean. As event went on he just was not energetic with crowd and after break smelled of cigarette smoke. As I was watching pictures and videos from other stores I was a bit disappointed in our results.... this picture was the most inspired he was all day and it was the first child of the day. Just not right fit for our event.

Santa was amazing. He was in character, interacted with the kids and adults as well. The kids truly believed. I will definitely be using him next year. And most definitely referring him to others. Thank you for making my party an unforgettable event.

Santa was the star of our party! The kids absolutely loved him!!

Santa al was amazing with the kids and just an overall great person!!

Santa Al Hockaday was amazing! We booked him for a corporate event and he was a huge hit at the party! Not only did he arrive early, but he interacted with all of the guests and took several photos, which is exactly what I asked him to do. We had a photo booth at our event and he made it such a fun experience! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Santa and I will definitely book him again!

Santa Al Hockaday is by FAR the best Santa in Dallas/DFW! Our company was lucky enough to book Santa Al for our Annual Christmas event in Dallas, TX. Santa Al Hockaday was amazing to work with. Santa Al remained “true to character” from the very first moment that we spoke to him on the phone. Santa Al was professional, organized, and even arrived to our event early (fully dressed & still in character), just as he had promised. We truly appreciated the way that Santa Al took the time (and care) to methodically plan his arrival, to make absolutely certain that his arrival was discreet - which he pulled off without a hitch! When Santa Al came out to see the kids, they were thrilled to see him, and one little boy was so excited that he ran full speed towards Santa Al, and jumped into his arms (which we were lucky enough to capture in a photo). That kind of moment can’t be bought, and is a priceless memory that that little boy (and his parents) will have forever. THANK YOU Santa Al Hockaday, for the amazing experience, and lasting lifetime memories, that you helped us create. We can't wait to book you again next year, and hope you enjoy the pictures that we have shared here! #PricelessMomentsCaptured #SantaAlHockaday #MakingChristmasMemoriesWithSantaAlHockaday

Santa Al came to my business where I was hosting a "Santa & Me" event. He was quick to come up with stories to tell the kids about the reindeer, elves, Mrs. Claus and the North Pole. The kids just ate it up and we had an absolute blast! He was so accommodating and let us take gobs of pictures with him to help promote this same event for next year. As a pottery studio we were putting kid's hand prints on plates they would use for Santa's cookies and Santa Al even let us paint his hand in front of the kids to put his print with theirs. I had planned to do this before the event, but it just worked out great for the kids to see me paint Santa's hand. I've already asked Santa back for next year! :)
