Ho ho ho! My name is Santa Aron and I am a professional Santa Claus portrayal artist. I would describe my portrayal as a combination of the classic Coca-Cola Santa in vintage advertising mixed with a generous dose of Edmund Gwenn's Santa from the 1947 version of Miracle on 34th Street. My beard is as real as they come, and I accent my outfit with many hand-made accessories for a truly authentic look. I am available for groups of all sizes including family visits, church programs, corporate events, municipal gatherings, Christmas in July venues, parades, and television and print media. If you're looking for an outstanding Santa Claus, it would be an honor to share my Christmas Joy with you!
Santa Aron does not disappoint! We’ve had this Santa at our school events for several years and our students and parents love the experience. He is kind, personable and magical!!
Response from Santa Aron:

Santa Aron was an absolute hit at our photos with Santa event!! He was so patient and kind with every single child. He really took the time to engage with each of them and make them feel special. He truly embodied the magic of Santa and we got endless compliments from our clients on how great he was. Would definitely recommend him and look forward to working with him again next year!!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Kelsey, for the very kind words. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and had some wondefful conversations With the children, and your entire office was so accommodating!
Santa Aron is an amazing Santa! Very professional and engaging with our event. Highly recommended!

Thank you for having me at your gathering, Chelsea. I absolutely loved meeting all of the pups and taking pictures with them (and their people were great too 😉). Have a wonderful Christmas!
Santa Aron is amazing to work with. He's genuine with the kids, timely, and very responsive. I highly recommend him for your event.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Heather. I love visiting with your family and friends and appreciate everyone's festive spirit!
This is our second year having Santa Aron visit our child care center. He is so patient and caring with the kids.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you for such kind words, Angie. I look forward to my visits each year and seeing the excitement on those young faces!
Santa Aron came for our Cookies and Cocoa holiday event at our preschool. He was very professional and kind to all children and families. Awesome Santa! We will definitely book him again next year!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Jessica, for the kind words. I had such a good time, and I appreciate the opportunity to visit with such wonderful kids!
Santa Aron did an amazing job. He interacted with the kids perfectly and everyone had a blast. Can’t wait to do it again next year.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Hal. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Santa Aron is. He comes to our neighborhood event every year. After the kids all get pictures, he graciously spends so much time answering questions and having conversations with our children. He reads them books and is so cheerful and loving. He remembers things about the kids and always has a wonderful response to their questions and requests. My daughter asked for a real spell book. I told Santa ahead of time to help with letting her down easy and his response was absolute perfection. She felt so good about his explanation and was absolutely over the moon excited. He is THE Santa and I would recommend him for every holiday event.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Ashley, for the very kind words. I always anjoy my visit to your event, and it has become a highlight of my season!
This was our first event hosting Santa Pictures with Pets! It went great and he was wonderful with the animals (mostly dogs but a few cats as well). He was even better with the children that stopped by to see him! I would definitely recommend him for an event! Merry Christmas!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you for having me, Amy. This was a favorite event for me for sure, and I had so luch fun. I hope you'll have me back to cavort with pups and kids alike again in the future!

I own an Indoor Playroom for small children and we do Santa Visits every year. This year I had to hire a new Santa and I was so nervous! Would he show up? Would he be jolly and engaging with the children? Would they respond well to him? Would he make the event magical? OMG YES!!!! He was so good with the kiddos and the parents loved their experience and we got some amazing photos. Thank you so much Santa Aron!!!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you for the kind words, Jennifer. It has been an absolute joy being with the kids in your playroom. What fun!

We love Santa Aron. This is our third year for a visit from him. He is kind, authentic and never breaks character. He read a story, sang a Christmas carol and sang Happy Birthday to the two year old girl. The children are 3 months to 7 yrs old. He also spent quality time answering all kinds of questions from each child. We can’t wait till next year !!!!
Response from Santa Aron:
As always, thank you for having me, Lynn. It was so nice to meet the whole crew this year!
Santa Aaron was wonderful! My granddaughter loved him! He was very authentic, professional, kind, and met every standard we hold dear for Santa Claus! I definitely recommend hiring Santa Aaron.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Barbara, for the very kind review. I loved speaking with your granddaughter (what a sparkling personality), and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
We will definitely rebook for our next event!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you so much for having me. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the folks that stopped by and had wonderful time being Santa to the children. What a fun event!
This is our second year hiring Santa Aron. He is outstanding. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is awesome with the kids. Answered all their questions perfectly. Read two stories to them. Spent quality time with each one. They loved it. Their ages are 6, 5, and 4. I'm planning on hiring him again next year !!!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you for the kind words, Lynn. I love spending time with your lovely family!
This was our first visit by Santa Aron and he did quite well. We had a 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2-year olds pepper Santa Aron with questions for the first 10 minutes and he did amazingly well to keep it light but on target. I highly recommend him.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Jeff, for having me. The children were a delight!
Santa Aron did amazing at our event! We had a much higher turn out than expected and he was amazing with all the kids and kept their spirits up after a different vendor bailed on us and disappointed them. So grateful for his awesome work! Couldn't recommend more :)
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you so much for the kind review. I had so much fun, and the children were delightful!
Santa Aron was perfect!!! What an awesome experience, so great w the kids!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you for the kind words! It was a joy being with your family!
We were 5 families in the party with a total of 9 kids, most of them 5 years old. They all were enchanted with Santa and he was so sweet with all of the kids. All the parents were so happy as well with Santa and they kept telling me it was such a great addition to the party. A memory that will last forever ❤️❤️
Thanks Santa Aron! 🎅🎅🎅
Response from Santa Aron:
Martha, it was a true pleasure to spend time with your family and friends. Thank YOU for having me!

Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Megan. I had a wonderful time meeting so many kind and accommodating people at your party!

Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Amanda. I had a wonderful time at your event!
Santa Aron was amazing at my family Christmas party. We had 11 children ages newborn to 10. He was patient and answered the children’s questions, he was funny and engaging. The young & old alike were captivated by him.
I would definitely recommend Santa Aron!

Thank you, Rhea. I had a wondefful visit with your lovely family!

This is our second year using Santa Aron for a public event. He was incredible once again! From his costume to his interactions with kids I can't say enough good things. Our reviews of the event always include notes from parents about how great the Santa was. Incredibly engaging, with a perfect relaxed and laid back attitude, he made the kids and parents comfortable in all interactions.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thanks for having me back, Mike. It's an honor to work an educational event like yours!
Santa Aron was GREAT! He was engaging with the kids, looked the part, quick to respond, and more! We will be booking with him for years to come!
Santa Aron spends time with the kids, answering questions and making genuine conversation. This is the second year we’ve hired him and we will continue hiring him for our events forever!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Ashley-- your's is a wonderful commmunity!

He showed up on time (early, actually). I hired him for three evenings and he did an amazing job each night! I'm already hoping to use him annually and took photos with kids standing next to him in hopes that my client can see how much their kids grow year after year! (I'm a photographer). He never misses a beat no matter what questions is thrown at him. He is a merry, jolly, sweet and gentle Santa. He really could read the personality of each child. He knew when he could be playful with them and he knew exactly when to be gentle and soft spoken as to not add chaos or be scary. Such an amazing Santa! I really hate to brag about him because I don't want to share BUT, that wouldn't be fair, would it? His clothing was amazing, he looked great! His glasses were perfect and I have NO editing to have to worry about! All the way down to his authentic boots and his 'antler' that he carries along his belt. He didn't mind fulfilling my special requests either. All around great guy and great Santa! Thank you Santa for making our season so magical! I even forgot to write a child's name on the nice list (I know, I know) and we went right along without a hitch and was able to add it with 'some of Santas magic'. So he is really good at reading minds somehow too....I don't know, maybe he really is Santa?? I wouldn't argue with you if you said he was!
Response from Santa Aron:
Christel,
Thank you for the incredibly kind words! I must say, you and your clients are lovely and a joy to work with, and I am looking forward to next year!
Merry Christmas!

This Santa was perfection. He was so patient with the children (ages 6 weeks to 5 years old). Very attentive as some of the children chatted for awhile. We will definitely have him back again next year.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Angie. It was my pleasure being with the children-- they were a delight!
Santa Aron is amazing and he really brought the spirit and magic of Christmas to our Family this year. We had a family party with over 20 kids there and he did an unbelievable job at interacting with our entire group. His accent is perfect and he does such a great job of interjecting fun and humor that was all spot on!
We will happily be calling him again!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Matthew! I had a lovely time visiting with your wonderful family! Merry Christmas to you all!
Santa Aron was amazing!! He did such a good job with all the kids from 3 months- 15 years old! Everyone loved him! Even the small children who were thought were going to cry love him! I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future!
Thank you, Santa Aron!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you for having my visit your wonderful family, Debbie. You are a lovely bunch, and I had a grand time!
The BEST Santa! He literally could not have been better. 10/10 recommend!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you for having me, Darcy. I had a wonderful time visiting with the children in your beautiful space!
Aron was soo good! Very good with all of the kids and they all loved him. No one was afraid. He was WONDERFUL! Thank you Aron. We will book again!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Claudia. It was a real treat spendind time with your lovely family!
Such a great experience! Santa Aron walked into the house and Christmas magic came with him. All the kids stoped what they were doing and were captivated by Santa’s genuineness. Right down to his accent he was the real deal.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you! You have a wonderful family and visiting with them warmed this Santa on a cold winter's night.
He was great! He held the kids attention. He included them in the story. He made our family Christmas even more rememberable. We would recommend him to anyone.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Kenneth. I'm glad to have been a part of your family's Christmas!
Santa Aron was incredible. 100% invested in connecting and ensuring that the kids had a great time!!! We will definitely be reaching out to Santa Aron next year!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Clint, for including me in your event. I got LOTS of great hugs!
Santa Aron was a great addition at our Adult Holiday Skate! Our event was unique in that we didn't have any children so he was tasked with mainly selfies from an adults-only crowd and handled all encounters well. His look was fantastic and he handled the cold/outdoor aspect of our event like a champ. Highly recommend Santa Aron!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Kelsie! I had a great time and really enjoyed seeing grownup faces light up just like their kids' faces do. Thanks for having me!

Santa Aron was absolutely magical! All the kids and adults loved him! Thank you!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Rebecca. It was a joy to be with you!
I hired Santa Aron for a community event called "Science with Santa." Santa Aron was amazing! He walked around and interacted with parents and kids, helped them with science experiments, took pictures and more. If you are looking for an authentic and engaging Santa for any event I highly recommend Santa Aron!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thanks, Mike! I had all sorts of fun with the kids at your event, and I hope it grows and continues to be an outlet for FUN learning!
Santa Aron came to our home and answered all of the kids questions. I appreciated that he gave the kids a choice to sit or stand by him. He was very friendly and had a great look.
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you, Jana. I enjoyed my visit with your family. Merry Christmas!

If you’re looking for the perfect Santa, look no further! Santa Aron was nothing short of amazing. He took his time with every single child, talking with them and making each experience special and memorable. He was very in character, cheerful, and engaged. The experience far exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to book him again next year!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank you so much! I had a wonderful time with the families of your home association!
Santa Aron was easy to work with, prompt, friendly, and most of all - the embodiment of magical. This was our first time booking him for a charity fundraiser photo shoot with area families, and it will not be the last!
He was very personable with each child - and adult, and was ready for whatever each tiny personality threw at him. Aron was even willing to make silly faces for pictures with the kids, which was a delight to see. He worked well with kids of all different ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Cannot recommend Santa Aron enough!
Response from Santa Aron:
Thank YOU, Jackie, for the opportunity to take part in such a worthy cause. It was a true pleasure working with you!

Price Range: $100 per hour
I will arrive at the specified location just prior to our agreed-upon start time and park well out of the line of sight of attendees. I will come fully dressed for the part in your choice of the traditional Santa suit or, if the weather is warm, a lighter, seasonal version minus the coat. If agreed upon, I will have my toy bag that we can will with gifts or simply use as a prop. I will fully inhabit the role of Santa while I am there and will not break character unless the situation dictates. I will carry out my predetermined expectations with professionalism and a jolly demeanor, and at the end of my time, I will exit and stay in character until I am back in my vehicle. My goal is to provide the very best experience, spread a healthy amount of Christmas cheer, and leave an exceptionally positive impression upon my host and those in attendance.
There's something magical and incredibly rewarding about portraying Santa Claus, and I feel like I've prepared my entire life for this role having grown up enthralled by seasonal showings of the classic Rankin/Bass Christmas stop motion animation programs. I grew up to become a classically trained singer with a degree in music education, and I taught in both public and private schools for twenty-one years before making the jump to the corporate arena. Once there, I realized I lost my main creative outlet- creating things for my students- when I left teaching and subsequently rediscovered my love of art and the written word and my fascination with a certain Jolly Ol' Elf. Today, I am a children's author and illustrator and am never happier than when I have the opportunity to light up a child's face by donning my red suit.
