We had the best time with The Professional Santa. He interacted with all the guests from young to adults. We absolutely loved our time with him!
It was an absolute joy of witnessing a truly magical moment at Young Life Capernaum, where Santa himself made a surprise visit to spread Christmas cheer with an incredible group of special needs children. From the second he walked in, his warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit lit up the room. The kids' faces absolutely lit up with excitement and wonder—Santa’s presence wasn’t just a visit, it was a moment of pure joy and connection.
What stood out most was the way Santa took time with each child, making them feel seen and special. He didn’t rush through the moments—he engaged with every child, listened attentively to their questions answered in a way that only the “real” Santa could. He even took pictures with them, creating memories that will last a lifetime. His laughter, enthusiasm, and endless patience were contagious, and he truly embodied the Christmas spirit in every interaction.
The team at Young Life Capernaum is a group of heroes, and having Santa there made the celebration even more extraordinary. This visit was a beautiful reminder that Christmas is all about spreading love, joy, and inclusion—and there’s no better place to feel that magic than with the amazing children of Young Life Capernaum. Thank you, Santa, for bringing your heartwarming Christmas spirit to these incredible kids. You’ve made this season unforgettable!
He’s on time and incredibly authentic!
He was in character the whole time and could not have been more wonderful! He walked around and talked to all the customers and the children. He had the perfect voice and we would love to have him as our Santa again next year! Thank you Santa

What a wonderful staff and clientele you have!! It was such a pleasure to be part of it. Thank you for the kind words!
We've booked this Santa for many years now and this year we decided to invite an elf along with Santa for extra fun and extra help handing out gifts! Our company thoroughly enjoyed having them both for our big event, it's always a pleasure!
Response from The Professional Santa:
Being part of your company Christmas function is always a highlight of Santa's year!! Thank you for your kind words!
Santa was absolutely fantastic! From the moment he arrived, he embodied the spirit of Christmas.
Santa was so patient and kind with our autistic kiddo. He was the perfect touch to our team holiday party!
Every kids mouth and even some of the adults who didn’t know were dropped with excitement. He was so animated and in character. Came on a holiday and got all the kids ready for Christmas and put magic in their eyes. Thank you a million!!!
Response from The Professional Santa:
Thank you so much for the kind words. You family was a beautiful example of love and kindness. Merry Christmas!
The Professional Santa is the BEST of the BEST! He is magical, authentic, and fun! He came to surprise a bunch of kids with disabilities and matched their pure excitement and joy throughout the entire night. He was engaging, funny, welcoming, and intentional with every single kid who was present. The many kids with disabilities who were present will never forget that night!
The Professional Santa has my HIGHEST recommendation. He truly is the BEST in the business!!
This Santa was extraordinary when it came to being prepared and engaging with the kids, absolute pleasure to have and entertain the kids, had the kids involved from start to finish.
Santa K has worked with our company for a few years now and he is always a delight. Thank you for always being Professional and Jolly. Everyone had a great time with you there!!
Santa was amazing! He was on time, interacted with everyone and made everyone have a great time. Santa had a cookie toast and made time for everyone to take pictures with him. He was very funny and had great humor as well. Santa made the party for sure!!Definitely will be seeing him again!

Awesome Santa! Highly recommend!
Year after year Santa has brought joy to my family and extended family at our holiday party we have yearly. Started out with virtual during Covid and then the past 2 years now we have had him at our house in person. We even had him for a gym party recently. He is truly the best and so great with kids of all ages and the adults get a kick out of him too. If you have the professional Santa at your holiday event, it’s sure to be a special time for all. Grateful to have had him at our parties. He truly brings the magic of Christmas with him to the young and old. 🎅🏻 💚🎄
Response from The Professional Santa:
That warms Santa's heart. The joy and love you all exude is overwhelming!!! Hope to see you all again this Christmas Season!!
HoHoHo,
Santa K.
In character beginning to end, handled a very busy night very well. Very professionally!
We had Santa at our gym holiday party. The kids could not get enough. I’ve never seen so much excitement and also so many well behaved children as they were in front of Santa with staying quiet and waiting their turn.
Santa come in with cheer in his voice and a twinkle in his eye. He sang holiday songs with the children jolly and joyfully.
He was a real hit! Loved by the kids s d the parents as well!
Thank you for coming and spreading Christmas Cheer!
💚
We have had Santa come to years in a row.... Can't wait to see you again this year.
Santa did a fantastic job!!
Response from The Professional Santa:
Thank you Sir!!! Hope to see you all again next year!!!
HoHoHo,
Santa K.
Santa was a hit not only with the little ones but the parents/employees as well. He was very enthusiastic, jolly, and all things Christmas. We couldn't have asked for a better Santa to be a part of our Holiday party. He even brought gifts that weren't requested but was much appreciated, and as a bonus he has his Nice List that he puts the little one's names in if they want. I would definitely recommend The Professional Santa for anyone looking to bring a little holiday cheer to their party or gathering.
Response from The Professional Santa:
Thank you for the kind words. You all were just amazing people and I look forward to seeing you all again next year!!
HoHoHo,
Santa K.
Authentic, friendly, and a wonderful addition to our company's holiday party
Response from The Professional Santa:
Thank you Lori!! Once again it was my pleasure, as you were all so nice. You did an amazing job putting that all together. Hope to see you next year!!
HoHoHo,
Santa K
My family, friends were just delighted by Santa’s coming to the house. He went above and beyond to make our occasion special. Santa was so good with the kids and I’ll tell you if you don’t believe now YOU WILL!!! Definitely recommend Santa!!!
I lost my son 15 weeks ago today and he left behind a 5 year old little girl. Her world has been turned upside down with a mom not in the picture and now her daddy in heaven. They were each other’s worlds. Santa surprised her & my grandson and truly made them smile and laugh. He is definitely the real deal and brings love and joy to the experience. I highly recommend him. Our family was blessed to have him in our home.
The Professional Santa is the real deal. I had a huge party with multiple families and their children in my home for a Christmas party, Santa was our BIG surprise of the evening. The moment he arrived the excitement and gleam in the children’s eyes and our own never left us. Santa gave out gifts, asked the children what they wanted for Christmas, he answered any questions they asked. He had his magical book with his “list” with him where the children stood by him as he wrote their name in the “nice” list. He gave us all special chocolate chip cookies made from Mrs. Claus. The children all had their turn as well as the adults to have their pictures taken with Santa. He read “The Night Before Christmas” from his scroll and sang Christmas songs with us all. He looked and sounded as you would imagine Santa to be. The few that had to leave the party early and the ones that couldn’t make it certainly regret missing out.
He was every bit magical and made the entire night for everyone at the party. He truly was wonderful and made those who may have had doubts in him believe. He deserves 5 starts and more!! 🎅🏻♥️
SAnta made our Christmas Eve. He took pictures with us all! He came with gifts for the little ones and help had out the other gifts to everyone else. He was GREAT!
Response from The Professional Santa:
Your Family is WONDERFUL!!! I can not wait to come visit again every Christmas!!!! Tell her (you know who) Santa says to be good!!!! Ho Ho Ho!!!!! Santa LOVES you ALL!!!!!
With covid here still for Christmas 2020 I wanted to do something a little extra special for my kids this year. Understandably a visit from Santa couldn’t happen, but a virtual call was the next best thing.
Santa K called my children and you could just see and hear how impeccable and magical Santa was. From the perfect laughter and knowledge of my children and household, down to the important details, and the appearance of himself, he truly makes you believe!!
Such an incredible experience for my children and I. Certainly a new memory made that we all will cherish forever.
I look forward to having Santa K. as part of our Christmas again next year!!
Response from The Professional Santa:
Thank you so much for your kind words. Your family is AMAZING and I hope to be able to come see you all in person in 2021. You are ALL on the Nice List, even Daddy!!!! Ho Ho Ho and a Happy 2021!!!!

Tips for a GREAT Santa visit
We want Santa's visit to be very, very special. Here are a few tips to help make your Santa visit merry:
-Provide a cell phone number of someone at the event who will have it on.
-Have a special place for Santa to park – very close to the entrance of the event.
-Have someone outside to meet Santa – to show him the way and to load toys into his sack if needed.
-Plan it so Santa can make a "Grand Entrance" – Have everyone participating in a common task (like singing).
-Place Santa's Chair so it has a great holiday background for photos (like a fireplace or Christmas Tree). Leave room behind the chair for group photos.
-Place payment in a Christmas Card so you don't have to hand Santa a check or cash and risk a child witnessing the transaction.
-Have all dogs secured and put away. Dogs love Santa too and may sometimes jump on him in their excitement accidently ripping his suit.
-Keep the children together and occupied to give Santa a few minutes for his departure when he must travel on to the next house.

Santa K. has been told he is the living image of the 1931 Coca-Cola Santa, imagined by commissioned illustrator Haddon Sundblom who painted Santa for Christmas advertisements. Those paintings established Santa as a warm, happy character with human features, including rosy cheeks, a white beard, twinkling eyes and laughter lines.
Santa K. has a 200 year old Santa Chair, multiple Photo Backgrounds and can even bring a pro grade camera if requested
