Santa Walter, a real-bearded Santa, is happy to share his year-round Christmas spirit with anyone! He is available for appearances at corporate or family parties, parades, festivals, hospital or nursing home visits, civic club meetings, and fundraisers and other events for non-profit and charitable organizations. Want Santa Walter to make this year’s family Christmas gathering even more special? Or maybe surprise your little one at home? He will be delighted to! Santa Walter is also very pet-friendly so he will be happy to come out to events or photo sessions with fur-babies too!
Background check for 2018 is on file.
Any event farther than 45 miles will require additional travel costs.
This is our third year with Santa Walter, and we couldn’t be happier! The kids just love him and warm up to him so quickly. He was great with our 4 month old daughter, and seems so comfortable around our circus. We are excited for next year!
Santa Walter is a very convincing Santa and the details of his suit & bag were perfect. My Grandchildren were totally surprised and asked many questions all of which were answered so convincingly. It was a wonderful experience for all of us.
Santa walker was amazing with the kids. Very engaging and great with our autism families and their children. Thank you Sanata Walker
Santa Walter was just as captivating as last year! The kids were so excited. He was so patient as they gathered their courage and so accommodating to each child. We love Santa Walter!
Santa Walter was our guest star at Santa Brunch this weekend, and he was wonderful! He was great with the children, and walked around mingling with the guests for the duration of the event. He looked perfect and the sound of his bells was magical! He was kind and personable, and we will definitely have him back next year. Thank you Santa Walter!
Response from Santa Walter:
Thank you for the kind review. Santa Walter is humbled by your appreciation.
Santa Walter did an incredible job with not only the littles, but the whole family. He brought us some Christmas spirit in a year we needed it most!
Response from Santa Walter:
Thank you for the review. Santa Walter is thrilled to know that the spreading of Christmas cheer was a success this year.
Santa Walter was absolutely wonderful, patient, and personal. He engaged everyone and captivated the children. He was extremely warm and disarming for some nervous children who quickly warmed to his charm! We will definitely be booking Santa Walter again in the future!
SANTA WALTER WAS A DELIGHT AS SOON AS HE WALKED TO THE DOOR! WE ENJOYED HIM TALKING TO THE RESIDENTS AND THE CHILDREN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Thanks again for putting beautiful smiles on the children this year. Cant wait to have you again next year.
Santa Walter was punctual and he made our Christmas party beautiful. The children were so happy to have him and he was very patient with them all. Looking forward to next year!!!
Response from Santa Walter:
Santa Walter is grateful for being able to be part of your Christmas party. The kids where great and the excitement level was something Santa will cherish.
We were in a real bind as our Santa had the flu and was unable to make an event. Walter responded to me immediately, showed up 20 minutes early so he could be well prepared for what we are doing. He indicated that he was a "new" Santa, but he did a really good job with both the kids and adults!
Response from Santa Walter:
Glad I could help out. Hope your regular Santa gets better.
We needed a Santa on the fly and Walter responded very quickly and was very professional. We booked the night of and he was able to make it and make everyone's night!
Response from Santa Walter:
Santa Walter appreciates the kind words. Thank you for letting Santa Walter be part of your Christmas party.

Santa Walter is great around kids and loves making children of all ages (yes, even adult children!) happy. Santa Walter can sing (in a group setting) Christmas songs; read Christmas stories (If Santa Walter does not have a specific book, he is happy to borrow the host's book so the children can get the story desired); hand out presents (provided by the host) and most of all: be in pictures - Santa Walter really likes to be in photos!
Santa Walter lives in the North Georgia area and attended the Northern Lights Santa School in 2018. Santa Walter loves making children happy and putting a smile on everybody's face.
Santa Walter does not have any specifics that need to be met; however, to make the Santa visit better here are a few suggestions:
Provide a cell phone number of somebody who will be at the event and will have the cell phone on.
Having a secondary contact in case the 1st person does not answer is a good back-up plan.
Having the phone set to vibrate as a secondary precaution in a noisy room is also good.
Have a place for Santa to park that is close to the event that is out of sight of the area in which the children will be.
Have somebody meet Santa at the parking location. They can show Santa where to go and help load gifts into the sack if needed.
Help Santa make an “exceptional” entrance by having everybody gathered in the same room when Santa appears. Telling a Christmas story or singing a song are different ways to have people in the same room for Santa to make his “exceptional” entrance.
Place “Santa's Chair” in a spot that has a great Christmas background for photos. Leave room behind the chair for people to stand for group photos. Make sure to take lighting in consideration for the pictures. Nothing like sun light coming through a window to mess with the pictures (or blind the photographer). Please, DO NOT place Santa's chair next to a lit fireplace - not only is this not safe for kids, Santa is used to the North Pole and can do without the extra warmth (nothing ruins a Christmas gathering like Santa passing out from heat exhaustion!). Make sure the chair is sturdy and can hold Santa and the kids (no rockers).
When the event is over, have the children together and occupied so Santa can depart without them witnessing Santa leaving in a mundane vehicle.
If additional payment is going to happen at the event (such as a tip or the remaining balance due), make sure to have it concealed in a Christmas card (Santa Claus should not be asked to accept any sort of payment in front of children, but he can accept all the "Christmas cards" anyone wants to give him!).
