Ho, Ho, Ho!
Generally I offer all sorts of visits but this year is so very challenging!
I am open to discussing safer options, but this season will be extremely difficult.
My most common visit is a two hour party or business event, having dozens, even hundreds of people, kids and adults on my lap. This year that is not safe.
I would love to be able to do “porch visits” or a quick “pop by” but the logistics of this kind of visit don’t make sense. Even with magic the travel makes quick stops a problem.
I am open to your ideas but there will be many fewer visits this year.
We can visit online!
I also do wonderful “You caught Santa!” Videos.
Let's talk!
And please, check my reviews!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Santa Mike! From the very beginning, he was incredibly flexible and relaxed, making the entire process so easy and enjoyable. He even took the time to meet with us prior to the event, which gave us so much confidence that he was the perfect fit for our needs.
Santa Mike came highly recommended through our local Facebook page, and we couldn’t be happier that we booked him. He truly brought the magic of Christmas to life, and his warm, authentic presence as Santa delighted everyone.
We’re already looking forward to working with him again next year! If you’re looking for a fantastic Santa who goes above and beyond, Santa Mike is the one to book. 🎅✨
Santa Claus Mike Pulskamp is the best. He made our event. I got many compliments on his excellence as Santa.

Every year, Santa Mike is a hit! He’s been coming to our annual Christmas party for the past 7 years (minus Covid of course). He’s always great with the kids, even this year when they were rowdy and a little crazy since some are getting older now. Haha. He’s calm and patient still! Thanks Santa Mike for a wonderful time.
Santa Mike was very fun, approachable and obviously knew what he was doing! He posed very well and without prompt for pictures, and engaging with children seemed to be second nature for him. I can't wait to hire again next year!
Response from Santa Claus Mike Pulskamp:
Thank you!
The visit was wonderful and your pictures are out of this world!
Thanks again, I look forward to more great visits!

We have used him for 8 years! Best Santa ever, and such a good person outside of the Santa suit too:)
Arrived on time, was plesant, engaged the residents...thanks again Santa Mike!
Mike was very nice. All my staff adn residents enjoyed his visit. Definetly will book him next year.
We hired Mike for our annual holiday open house on Main Street. He met with dozens and dozens of children and made their night. My favorite feedback from the evening was a very happy parent that said he was "the best Santa ever." Not bad for taking over at an established event that is over 35 years old! Thank you Mike for making our return after the pandemic such a huge success.
Response from Santa Claus Mike Pulskamp:
Thank You!
I really enjoyed the visit!
Merry Christmas!

Thank you Santa, we do this every hear for 22 years, the last 14 was in honor of my son Andrew , he earned his angel wings at age 11, about 14 hrs ago. We have it on his birthday as he was so excited for Santa. The last couple years we had Santa Mike. Very accommodating for our special needs. This year was awesome. Covid didn’t stop our party, just a little twist. The reading, special book giving and pictures went smoothly. Thank you so much.
Response from Santa Claus Mike Pulskamp:
Mary,
Your family is really a special joy for me. Thank you so much for sharing your holidays with me!
My heart breaks to have not been able to hug all of you!

Santa Mike was amazing. Showed up early and was the perfect example of a perfect Santa - an amazing addition to our event. He was quick to respond to my quote and future communications. Will 100% book him for future Santa needs.
Thanks Santa Mike! From the entire NeighborGood Market team!
Response from Santa Claus Mike Pulskamp:

Our little ones 1st birthday was the best not only the kids had a blast the adults were also having a great time because we had a visit from Santa Mike Pulskamp and Meghan O'Keefe-Claus. They truly made it the best birthday ever and we want to thank them for keeping our guests excited. Kids could not believe Mr & Mrs Claus were there. Our little Stassi was truly in love with them both. I reccomend them 1000%. Super sweet and fun.

This Santa was so real looking. He read the kids a story and got every child to come up to him. He was a wonderful Santa for our annual holiday party!

He was on time and the kids just loved him. He was patient, kind and very friendly even when my grandkids were overcome with excitement.
Response from Santa Claus Mike Pulskamp:
Thank you for sharing your wonderful family and your Christmas with me! Beautiful kids, little and big!
He was great! Kids all loved him!

He looks amazing, he is wonderful to work with, and the children absolutely loved him!
Response from Santa Claus Mike Pulskamp:
Thank you! I look forward to many more great visits with you and the kids! You throw a great event!
Mike (Santa) was so easy to coordinate with and very gracious with working out timing and making sure he knew the story and kept our kids believing in Santa. He is such a great looking Santa! Cannot wait to work with him in the upcoming years too!
Response from Santa Claus Mike Pulskamp:
Thank you so much! It was a wonderful visit and your kids are adorable!
Santa Mike did a great job. We had eleven grandchildren between the ages of 12 years and 18 months. He had wonderful interaction with all the kids. (And even put up with all the adults.) A fun time had by all.
Response from Santa Claus Mike Pulskamp:
Thank you so much Bill! Visiting with your wonderful family was a great treat for me. I especially enjoyed the way that the older kids, who often want to "challenge " me, in this case were totally involved! And the little ones are just so cute! If you have any pictures that you would be willing to share I would love to see them. The best place is Santa Mike Pulskamp at Facebook.com. Thanks again!

Just a few notes to help make things go smoothly.
Cookies: Santa enjoys a cookie! Mrs Claus is concerned about my blood-sugar, but heck it’s Christmas! The thing is that with a beard (and gloves) things like cupcakes that have frosting can be problematic, so if you could keep that in mind. I will not turn them down, as it is all about participation with the children, but small non frosted cookies are best for me. And water is easier than milk.
Scared kids: It happens, I’m pretty good with them but every once in a while one just will not willingly sit on my lap, or sometimes even come close to me. There are a few things we can do that usually work. First, I am happy to get down to their level. Often just that is enough to breakdown the nervous walls, if that is not enough I have been known to casually sneak up behind a kid to get a picture opportunity if that is what it takes. And while I don’t know your kid, I am pretty willing to assert myself to get you a decent picture. Please do not hesitate to warn me off if you think I am freaking your little one out too much. It’s rare, but I do not want my visit to be a bad experience for anyone.
For some kids it is most successful for a parent to hold them and then the parent to sit on my lap. This works great and leads me to...
People sitting on my lap: YOU WILL NOT HURT ME! I have often had really big folks sitting on my lap, and I mean BIG! The only times I have been in any discomfort have been the rare overly bony butts. Sorry but it’s true. Don’t worry. You will not hurt me. Just sit naturally. Do not squat or lean. Just sit. If you don’t relax it will show in the pictures. It really is ok.
Pets: I love dogs! I like Cats, and most other critters. I’m willing to go at least as far as tarantulas, but maybe not scorpions. Hey, if they are part of your family I am probably good with them.
I try to keep the magic real, it helps if I can come and go without eyes on me. The reindeer and sleigh are invisible while I’m not with them but it helps to not have peeking for my coming and going.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or request.
Merry Christmas
