Ho, Ho, Hooo!
Thanks for asking about Santa David!
He's a real white bearded -- real Jolly Santa! His natural ability with kids
has been sharpened with over 30 years of teaching all grades and now in his fifteenth season as Santa! Deep background check as an educator (currently sub at McKinney ISD)!!
Santa David is Santa Claus for all kinds of events; parties, stores, parades, malls, birthdays, country clubs, Birthday parties, Christmas in July...where ever a real bearded, realistic Santa is needed!
Sure, there are other Santas who charge less, and some agents who don't specialize in Santa, but is that really what you want for your guests? Check his reviews! You'll see he's worth it!
David was the perfect Santa! He spent time greeting residents and guests, visiting with all, answering questions, taking pictures, and even joined us in singing a Christmas song! He made so many so happy!
Response from Santa David:
Thank you so much, Carole! The visit was a delight for me! I look forward to coming back next year!
We have booked several Santa’s and this was the best by far. I highly recommend Santa David and Mrs. Clause you won’t be disappointed.
Response from Santa David:
Lisa, thank you so much! It was a delight for us also! I look forward to returning next year!
Great . The whole event went very well and all kids are so happy
Response from Santa David:
Thank you Vera! I enjoyed being there!
Fun and great with our Special Needs Adults
Santa David was great! We had him join us for our first annual tree lighting at our church. The kids were so excited to see Santa and take pictures with him.
Santa David was precisely all that we had hoped for and more! I was impressed by the time he took to ask questions about his audience before his arrival, so he was prepared for the tough Santa questions asked by older kids.
Response from Santa David:
Mia, I had a great time, and hope to see you all again next year!! Thank you!!
Santa David came through!!! We enlisted Santa David to come have breakfast with our family. Our two grandsons, age 7 and 4 grilled him with HARD questions even asking "Do you know God?" He was quick on his feet and patiently answered every question with kindness and wisdom! He even brought the book "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to read to them...definitely recommend!
Santa David was great. He communicated everything I needed to know ahead of time. My kids and grandkids all loved the visit with Santa. The two littlest are still talking about Santa!
Punctual and professional
He was on time. Well groomed, nice red nose and cheeks. He interacted with the kids. Had great response to where he left his reindeer. Definitely using him next year!
Santa did a wonderful job for us at our event. He was patient and intentional with each kid (and the big kids 😉). He provided a helpful guide prior to the event and was quick to respond.
Santa David was great! So much effort and detail placed in his costume - real beard, makeup and everything. We hired him for a more adult flea market at a dive bar and he was super chill and laid back. We will be having him back next year!
The kids LOVED HIM!
Santa David, was a jolly guy! He was prompt, polite, and oh so perfect for our neighborhood party! He had a wonderful disposition throughout the large party of approximately 250 guests. We will be sure to put our party together earlier, in order have him out again next year!
Response from Santa David:
Thank you, Sabrina! I really enjoyed the event! Look forward to next year!
Santa was awesome and took time with each child! We would use him again!
Response from Santa David:
Peggy, I enjoyed that so much! Look forward to next year! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
My marketing agency hired Santa David for one of their clients and it was a great experience. He was on time and did an amazing job at entertaining the kids, and even the adults.
Santa David was wonderful! He was great with the kids and even got the 2 year old to warm up to him and sit on his lap. I highly recommend Santa David!
Response from Santa David:
Thank you Mary Jo! Wonderful family! We'll see you in 2020!
The kids throughly enjoyed santa and Mrs. Claus! Will definitely book again!!
Response from Santa David:
Thank you Juan! Great kids!! We look forward to 2020!
Santa David was really great. David communicated well a day before event what's expectations and share all the contact information. He was early for the event, very pleasant with kids and parents. He is an awesome Santa!!!
Extremely patient and jolly!!! Kids loved him!
Thanks Santa David!!!!
Response from Santa David:
Thanks, Will! I look forward to next year!!
Will use him again!
Response from Santa David:
Thank you, Michael!
Santa David was on time, looked just like his photo and was so patient and great with the kids. He even had fun and whitty things to say to go along with a chalkboard theme we were using. He was a hit and made my party a huge success! Thank you Santa David!
Response from Santa David:
Thank you so much Angie! Contact me in August and lets' be sure you're on the calendar for 2017!!
Santa David did a great job & the kids loved him! He was very patient & accomidating for the thousands of pictures that we took at our children's Santa breakfast with about 13 kids! He also read "'Twas the night before Christmas to them" per my request & brought his own book. Great experience will use him again.
Response from Santa David:
Thank you, Shelley! Can't wait to be the Bennett family Santa in 2016!!
Santa David was very professional and lovely! Thank you!
WOW.......Santa David was awesome and I swear I would have thought he came straight from the North Pole. His Ho Ho Ho almost had me in tears.......perfect. My favorite time was Santa David reading The Night Before Christmas to the children....brought tears to my eyes. He made the night perfect.
Response from Santa David:
Cindy, thank you for having me visit all of those wonderful folks! For a Santa, it was a perfect evening!!! Merry Christmas!!
Wonderful with the children . Very prompt and polite. We have had the pleasure of spending the last few Christmas with Santa David and are looking forward to next year.
Response from Santa David:
Thank you so much, Jane! Always my pleasure to be your Santa!!
Santa David was great. He was very prompt, very polite and very good. Kids were a bit standoffish just because their age, but they all sat on his lap, talked to him and listened to his Christmas stories that he read. It was a great time had by all and we definitely would use Santa David again.
Santa David was absolutely wonderful. The kids had the best tiime and he looked amazing. I can definitely see why he is in this profession. I would highly highly recommend him. He arrived early, read to the children, took wonderful pictures, and was extremely pleasant.
We had the great opportunity to have the visit of the most amazing Santa in our daycare.
Santa David showed up on time with the most amazing, clean and bright custom you can imagine. The kids were so exited to see him, some younger kids started to cry, but he was very graceful and help the kids to get over their fear and made the kids respond with joy and excitement. It was an amazing entrance!!!!!!!!!!! He took the time to get to know the kids and gracefully received each one of the kids letters that they had been working on, he wisely responded to each one of the questions from the kids such as: Where are the elves? He told the kids that they were very busy making toys in the North Pole. He took a seatt near the Christmas tree and proceeded to read a Christmas story to the kids. He was kind and very jolly!. When picture time arrived, he sat each one of the kids on his lap and with a very sweet tone of voice asked each kid what they wanted for Christmas, and he helped also calm the little ones. He wasn't in a rush to leave when it was time to end the party. I totally would recommend Santa David to anyone, he is sweet and attentive with his clients and he truly looks like the real Santa. If you would like to have a magical experience and feel like a little kid again, then book Santa David, we recommend him 100%.
We had Santa David to our house last night for our family Christmas party. He was delightful and the kids had a great time! We will use him next year for sure!
Response from Santa David:
I enjoyed the visit also and look forward to next year!
Santa David was communicative and helpful. Prior to our visit, he sent a much appreciated Santa Guide, which let us know what to expect. Through emails, text, and a phone call, we were able to firm up plans just right. Unfortunately, Santa David was severely under the weather on the big day but he was so kind to arrange a stand-in for us. Santa Don visited, who was just as kind and communicative as Santa David. Good guys work together! Thanks so much for a great experience. Sorry we missed you but we greatly appreciated your efforts to bring us Santa Don!
Response from Santa David:
I"m so glad Santa Don was able to help! I'm on the mend now -- finding my Ho, Ho, Ho again! (had laryngitis)
Price Range: $100 per half hour to as much as $175 per hour.
Gig Length: 30 - 540 minutes
Languages: English, French
Santa typically hands out gifts from his bag, listens to children's requests for toys, and reads a story to the children, if requested. Santa also has some Christmas-time jokes memorized to tell the kids, and a Christmas Carol Sing-Along can be arranged ahead of time for an extra fee! (This Santa taught music, so, he's used to leading in music!)
David was shopping at a store in 2004, when a child of about 4 pointed to him and exclaimed to his mom, "Look mom, Santa's here!" From this, it dawned on him that I could easily play Santa Claus and help bring cheer to kids and adults in the most festive time of the year!
During 2005, he geared up for the role, letting his beard grow out more, and finding a good Santa suit to use. An ad was put in Craigslist to see what would happen, and to his surprise, got around thirty different gigs for parties, stores, etc!
His clients found him to be a natural and realistic Santa Claus, not just in looks, but truly "acting" as Santa Claus, with a realistic belly laugh (not the fake sounding Hoo, Hoo, Hooo like the Santa in "A Christmas Story")!
Adding to his natural abilities as Santa was his twenty plus years teaching in public schools, where he taught all the grades at one point or another! He knows how to interact with kids!
Since 2005, the number of clients has gone up each year, in spite of recessions!
2018 is shaping up to be my busiest year ever, and quite honestly, bookings are going very fast! Don't delay, book Santa David today!
Reviews from other clients:
Santa David was WONDERFUL!!! When Santa walked in, I saw the bright look in the child's eye and heard him exclaim breathlessly "It's the REAL SANTA!!" -- priceless memories. Santa kept his composure even when I gave him the wrong book to read the Christmas Story from and he still managed to make the story come alive. From this moment on, I want to pre-book him for the next 12 years until my grandchildren are grown. Santa David made our Christmas MAGICAL! -Jo H, Mckinney, TX
Santa David was fantastic! A really great Santa to wok with. -Katie L, Dallas, TX
Santa David was joy to work with. Our students truly enjoyed him and their eyes lit up when he came in the room! -Micah C, Dallas, TX
Santa/Mickey David was the best Santa ever. Our grandchildren were so happy to see him. Reading the book to them was extra special. He was engaging to the children. We can't wait to book him for next year. We also appreciated his Santa tips before he arrived to our home. That was helpful. -Lisa L, The Colony, TX
On time, very authentic looking, great with kids and accommodating with photos. Would definitely recommend! -Lori M, Frisco, TX
Santa David was fantastic! A really great Santa to wok with. -Katie L, Dallas, TX
Santa was great and we will have him again next year! Thanks Santa for making our family Christmas a great one. -Susan P, Frisco, TX
If you choose to do a Sing-Along, a playing system for which an ipod can be plugged into (either an ipod doc or a system with "RCA" inputs on the front is needed.

BUT WAIT....WHAT'S THE PICTURE OF MICKEY MOUSE FOR?!? I now do Mickey! Even his voice! One extra special act I do as Mickey for parties is to "conduct" Sorcerer's Apprentice from "Fantasia!" I'm actually a trained symphony conductor, so I'm really doing it right! (The cover story is that Maestro Stokowski trained Mickey to conduct the Sorcerer's Apprentice -- not far from the truth as my real conducting teacher played under Stokowski and was influenced by him!)
Santa Chair (usually just a nice high-back chair)
If leading a sing-along, an ipod capable sound system.
