We had the pleasure of having Santa Craig visit during our annual friends’ Christmas get-together, and he was absolutely wonderful! He went above and beyond to make the event magical for the kids.
Santa Craig spent time talking to each child, making them feel special and listened to. He read them book and he even joined in on decorating cookies with the kids, creating moments they will cherish forever.
Not only was he amazing with the children, but his warm and kind demeanor made the adults smile too. He truly embodied the Christmas spirit and brought joy to everyone. We couldn’t have asked for a better Santa, and we’re already looking forward to having him back next year!
Highly recommend him for any holiday event—you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you Santa C!

Santa Craig is the ultimate professional! He arrived on time and brought the "Holiday Spirit" with him. He was more than patient with our families and little scholars.

Very pleased with the gentle, jovial, and authentic morning with Santa! Santa Craig was amazing with our children….he was professional and in-character at all times - answering all the kids’ questions covering the North Pole, Mrs. Claus, and random questions about his suit! We got to enjoy everything from posing for traditional pictures, singing Christmas songs, and even passing out gifts. Highly recommended!
Response from Santa Craig:
Thank you Melissa! Santa really enjoyed the time with your family!
We worked with Santa Craig for our event this past weekend, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! He was absolutely wonderful with the children, engaging with them by playing games, reading stories, singing songs, and taking photos with every family. Even though a few of the little ones were initially hesitant or cried, Santa was so patient and kind that by the end of the session, everyone warmed up to him. He was professional, punctual, and communicated effectively throughout the entire process, making everything run smoothly. We highly recommend him for any holiday event.
