We had Santa Claus Chris for a private family gathering, and LOVED him! He was a great Santa and he took time with our pets & grand kids for photos. He was very professional, but also was funny, and entertaining. Everyone had a good time! I recommend Santa Claus Chris for your next holiday gathering!

We had Santa Claus Chris visit us for an annual holiday party and the kids were so excited! Even some of us adults were excited! He was great to have and such a lovely soul! We would recommend him any day! Thank you Santa Claus Chris for such a memorable night!

We had such a great time with Santa Claus Chris! He was great about making our different office residents feel special and like "kids" again. He got on zoom calls that were in progress, let people facetime their kids, and had special Santa magic that he shared with each office. He was really good with the dogs and was patient as their owners got the perfect picture. For the kids, he did Storytimes, a Santa hat magic trick, and listened to their Christmas wishes. The Retail customers were impressed as well with his Jolly nature and how he had some difficult and easy trivia planned based on the prizes. He made everyone feel very loved.
Santa Chris was absolutely wonderful. At our family gathering we had adults, young teens and small children. He kept all of us engaged and entertained! He has a great sense of humor and kept us all laughing!! When talking with the children, he often pulled their parents into the conversation, allowing the children to get a laugh at their parents. He was very sensitive to the shyness of our 2 year old. I will definitely book him next year. He's the best Santa that we have used. By the time he left, we were ALL believers!
Super friendly, fun, and looked just like the real Santa. The kids loved him, and even the adults couldn’t stop smiling. Totally made the event feel extra magical—highly recommend!

Santa Chris was a joy to all and made the party extra fun with a Merry Birthday song, fun games and stories, and pictures with the guest. Santa Chris communicated ahead of time to ensure every detail was covered and called after the event to thank us for using his Santa services and states he had fun too. Santa Chris’ Authentic Santa appearance and jolly personality was on point! We will use him again! Thanks Santa Chris for a magical time!
About 60 years ago, my parents had Santa come to our house on Christmas Eve. This Christmas, I was able to do the same for my grandchildren. We all had a great time with Santa Chris. He was excellent with the children, even the shy ones. We enjoyed singing songs, playing games, asking Santa questions that only he knows the answers to and the kids especially enjoyed the gifts Santa brought them. If you're fortunate enough to have a special visit from Santa, don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Santa for bringing joy to everyone. Never stop believing, Santa does exist.

Great experience

We recently hosted a Santa event for a Raleigh business and Santa Chris was excellent. He showed up on time and entered the room with a grand HO HO HO, which the kids loved. He took his time talking to each child, asking what they want for Christmas, who their favorite reindeer is, what types of cookies they were planning to leave for Santa, and more. He answered their endless questions about the North Pole, and even sang their favorite Christmas songs with them. Santa Chris was especially great with the shy ones. We'd absolutely use him again. :)

We hosted a small gathering for neighbors and friends in our over the top decorated screened porch. Santa Chris provided wonderful storytelling and spent quality time with every child. We will book again next year!
We could not expect a better Santa. Chris was amazing, very engaging with kids and adults. He also did some story time as well as games with the whole group. It was so much fun. He gave time to each and every kid in the party and everyone enjoyed a photo time with our amazing Santa. All the guests were so happy. Thank you Santa!

Santa Chris is the real Santa! I saw him walk up to our house and got a tear in my eye. We hope to see him again next year.
Santa Chris did a fantastic job at our resident event. We had our best resident turnout yet! He sang songs and interacted with our residents (and their pets). He brought his own backdrop and it looked great. We will absolutely be hiring Santa Chris again the future!
Great santa! def will be using him again! he looks like the real thing and takes his job serious

Santa Claus Chris is an experienced Santa who works well with children and families. He was on time, had a jolly ho-ho-ho, and played the character.

Santa came in and done all that was asked and even took the mic to play games with the family and friends. He became the leader to what was our best Friendsgiving party ever. Thanks for all you did Chris!!!

I booked Santa for my daughter’s first birthday and first Christmas. Unfortunately, my daughter got sick a few days before her scheduled party and we had to cancel everything. Santa and Mrs. Claus (Geri) graciously agreed to reschedule so that the baby could at least get her picture with Santa. It was wonderful! Santa made a big entrance and spent a lot of time with my little one. We got picture that will provide her with great memories of her 1st birthday/Christmas.
Santa was very easy to communicate with and answers the phone “Ho Ho Ho!” :-)
It was a treat.

We hired Santa Claus Chris for a Deccember Birthday party for a group of grown women. He could not have been a better fit! He was serious, the fun, and then funny. He fit right in with our wild bunch. It was so much fun and I would definately recommend him!

Santa Claus Chris provided a heart warning testimony of his past events portraying Santa Claus. He also provided a summary of his handicap and how he has been able to overcome it to serve others. It was a great event and he did a great job!

If you want an excellent Santa, Santa Chris is your Santa!
Our neighborhood holiday party was yet again a big success, largely due to Santa Chris. This is the second time he has visited us and brought joy to kids and adults alike. His stories, jokes and gentle demeanor attracted even timid kiddos to come out of their shell. Incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. A jolly ole elf indeed! Thank you, Santa Chris. Happy Christmas to you and yours. Thanks for blessing us with your holiday spirit!
Thank you Santa Claus for helping to make my son Connor’s 1st birthday so special. We enjoyed watching all the kids and especially the party games Santa played! Highly recommend!

Response from Santa Claus Chris:
Santa is so sorry to have been a little worn out, but I'm always used to being at events with loads of kids and many customers that keep me on my toes! It was a little hard to sit for so long and wait for any people to show up. Ho,Ho,Ho!
Have a happy holiday!
Santa Claus Chris did a great job at our neighborhood Christmas party. He was a big hit with kids and adults alike. He was great to work with and was willing to work with me on timing. Plus, he came to our party despite a record snowfall. Although... he did have that magic sleigh and Rudolph to get him there ;-)
Holiday Entertainment, Santa Claus
Response from Santa Claus Chris:
Ho, ho, ho... Santa LOVED visiting with your group!! I was glad the reindeer was able to get through all the snow and it was SO worth it to see the looks on the kids faces! Thank you for having me, and Have a Wonderful Christmas!!
Santa Claus Chris
Chris was a great Santa. I hired him without even meeting him and I was so happy. He came promptly and his price was reasonable. The whole family took pictures with him for their Christmas cards. We had some children who were afraid of Santa before they met him and he was able to make them feel comfortable. It was so sweet to see the shy scared kids happily give him a hug. I highly recommend him.
Santa Claus
Response from Santa Claus Chris:
Thank you so much for the kind words, I enjoyed it as well. I love that the kids felt comfortable around Santa!

I HAD A FULL HOUSE OF 50 PEOPLE !!! WE DID NOT WANT HIM OR HIS DAUGHTER TO LEAVE !!!PLEASE BOOK THIS GUY YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT I PROMISE YOU !!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH !!!
Although my 3 year old grand-daughter loved the 'idea' of Santa, getting up close and personal was another story. This was no different on Christmas Eve when we caught Santa placing the packages under the tree. HOWEVER, by the time he left she warmed right up to him. Chris was great with her! Well worth the money.
Everything was as promised
All were in wonder with Santa!
Holiday Entertainment
Wonderful! Jolly friendly Santa. He stayed longer than we had paid! Children of all ages loved him💕💕💕.

What to Expect
Santa Claus Chris can work with you and your specific needs. I have a large red bag for your gifts, if needed. I have picked up gifts hidden outside homes and came in as if I just got dropped off by the reindeer :-) I can bring props if needed, but typically don't carry items on hand unless requested, such as candy canes. I'm very entertaining, I have the spirit of Santa! I'm jolly, friendly, personable and polite always. I can work with your specific event, tailored to your needs. I've done private portrait sessions in homes, office holiday parties, business grand openings, larger scale parties, town festivals (also I'm a magician-so I'm very comfortable with large gatherings and many people). I can be quiet and work with special needs children or in environments with your pets. I do NOT eat or drink (alcohol or anything else other than water) when I'm working. I can work with you in almost any capacity you need, just speak with me about any details you prefer. I look forward to hearing from you!
About
I'm Santa Claus Chris and I've been Santa and an magician for many years. I've had many fun experiences over the years, and I love to meet new people and light up kids faces as Santa! I have experience as an emcee at events, and also enjoy spending quiet times with kids & parents in front of the tree at your home.
I enjoy making people happy, and helping to make the holiday season be as SPECIAL as it can be for you and your family, friends, work, or community! I live in Raleigh (the North Pole) and can travel to you! I'm available for sessions with children, adults AND pets! All types of people for all types of events including: portrait sessions, gift giving/photos, family events, holiday gatherings, office parties, business openings, fundraisers, whatever is needed, I'm up for! Looking forward to adding a little HO, HO, HO HOLIDAY fun to your events! I make sure your guests have a joyful, memorable holiday experience!
