How to Have a Smooth Home Visit from Santa Claus

Last updated on November 24, 2023

Now that Christmas is around the corner, lots of families are booking jolly ol’ Saint Nick for surprise home visits. We heard from one of our favorite Santas— Santa True —who gave us plenty of tips to help your home visit go off without a hitch.

While this article focuses on Santa as our example, there are wonderful Mrs. Clauses and other holiday entertainers who also do home visits!

What to Expect from Your Visit from Santa Claus

Every home visit is different, but here are some things you might expect:

• A special entrance from Santa
• Meet and greet
• Photo opportunities
• “Chair time” when kids (and adults!) can sit with Santa individually
• Q and As with Santa
• Performances such as singing, storytelling, or reading The Night Before Christmas
• Handing out gifts
• A hearty goodbye and magical exit

Before Your Visit from Santa Claus

Plan ahead and stay in touch with Santa before the day arrives so your home visit is a guaranteed success.

Talk with your performer 

This isn’t their first sleigh ride, and they often have a wealth of tips and ideas that can help you. Every performer approaches events differently, and you will also have special things in mind. Call them, chat, and make certain to finalize your plans before the season is too busy.

Share key details about the event 

Your performer will need to know how many people will be there and what ages. Be sure to share the names of the children—Santa will do his best to remember them. You can also introduce them simply, such as, “Santa, this is Suzy, who is seven years old, and Michael just turned nine.”

Share special considerations

Santa is happy to accommodate special needs for those he visits. He should also know about any language barriers or cultural considerations ahead of time.

Make sure Santa can get in

If you live in a gated community or have a special entrance in mind, make sure to share access codes and directions ahead of time.

Stay in communication

Santa needs the cell phone number of someone designated to wait for his text message when he is ready to make his entrance. Your point person should ensure their phone is fully charged, keep an eye on their messages, and be prepared to help with any issues.

Think about reminders of sadness or loss

If a loved one has passed recently or someone is currently stationed overseas, it helps Santa to know to avoid touching on sensitive issues. And if you have someone missing from the event, Santa could help you record a special message for them.

Don’t forget the elves!

Does your family participate in “Elf on the Shelf”? Santa loves being “in” on this tradition! But it helps Santa to know the names of those elves and what they have been up to.

Preparing for the Day of Your Visit from Santa Claus

There are several things to consider as you get your home ready for Santa on the day of your event.

Reserve a spot for Santa’s sleigh

Parking is important, especially if it’s limited (or your house is on a hill). Ask your Santa if they need a space reserved for them. One great method: Have someone park in Santa’s spot, then right before he arrives, pull the car out and leave a sign that says “Reserved for Santa.”

Prepare your seating arrangements

After Santa makes his entrance, he should have a designated place to sit. The best kind of chair for Santa is a strong one, preferably with a straight back and without arms. Santa needs his feet flat on the floor when he has someone in his lap. Often a dining room table chair will work just fine, and you can dress it up with a pretty Christmas blanket. Forest green or dark blue looks great in photos!

Where to put Santa’s chair

We recommend putting it near the Christmas tree or someplace well-lit with a festive background. Avoid putting Santa near the roaring fireplace; he’s already very warm. Keeping the house a little cooler is great for Ol’ St. Nick. Avoid putting him in front of lots of glass because you’ll get flash bounce and glare in your photos. Arrange the chair so the kids can sit down in front of him.

Think about background noise

A Christmas performance is for the whole family. When the music is blaring, or the crowd is loud and rowdy, some of the magic will be lost if Santa can’t be heard. While Santa is there, have everybody join in and have your revelers tone it down until Santa heads for the sleigh.

Have your payment ready

If you arranged your Santa visit with a split payment (a deposit paid earlier with the remainder due at the time of the visit) or if you want to give Santa a holiday tip, the best method is to have the payment and/or tip in a Christmas card and envelope at the front door, ready to hand to Santa when he comes in.

When you book a Santa Claus on GigSalad , you’ll pay the entire balance upfront, so you don’t have to worry about paying anything (except a tip, if desired) on the day of the event.

During Your Visit from Santa Claus

Parties can always get a little hectic, so stay on track and keep your guests happy with these tips.

Be a friendly host

Introduce Santa to both kids and adults; Christmas is for the kid in all of us!

Help Santa stay on time

Santa may have other families to visit, so be mindful of his dedicated time with you.

Assist with the details

Understand that Santa won’t be able to memorize every name. If you have a tradition, like a special cookie, nicknames, or customs, let your Santa know in advance and again at the event. Maybe remind him “of that time Santa brought something special” if this would be meaningful to the audience.

Encourage participation

Be upbeat and get everyone to join in on songs, stories, and other activities. If you show enthusiasm, others will too!

Coordinate the kids

As cute as it might be, sometimes it’s best not to put all the kids together. The younger, squirmier kiddos should stay in their parent’s laps. If a child is having a meltdown, have someone assigned to help them go somewhere where they can calm down.

Be flexible

Remember that all performances have unique pacing and rhythm based on your guests and home atmosphere. Be flexible and allow the timing to flow naturally.

Passing Out Gifts

Presents are the biggest part of Christmas! The big man in red is a pro at gift-giving, but there are a few things you can do to help him out.

Make sure Santa can find your gifts

Put your presents in a large plastic trash bag marked with a bright ribbon. Make sure it’s easily accessible and able to be lifted into Santa’s bag. If there are lots of presents or they are extremely heavy, get some elf hats and have a few helpers meet Santa outside. Remember, if you cannot carry all the gifts at once, it might be hard to have Santa carry all of them at the same time, too.

Don’t count on labels

Write the name clearly in large print with a marker directly onto the wrapping paper. Labels usually fall off in Santa’s bag. If this is a group gathering, make certain you can distinguish between people with the same name. If the names might be challenging, have someone help Santa with the pronunciations.

Have backup gifts

If this event includes many families, have a few small backup gifts just in case someone did not get the word. Stuffed animals and gift cards work well. You could even pass them over saying, “Oh, Santa, you dropped these.”

Decide how to open gifts

Of course, you can just hand them out and open them. Little kids will often just do this anyway. But another fun way is called a “Countdown and Out.” Santa hands out the presents, but everyone waits to open them until Santa is leaving. Santa starts the countdown, saying, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Merry Christmas!” Then the paper flies! The advantage is that Santa leaves at a high point, and no one tries to follow him out to see the reindeer. In fact, assign someone to make sure the kids don’t follow him outside.

Taking Photos with Santa Claus

Meeting Santa always needs photographic evidence, so be sure you’re ready for this important task. Don’t want the pressure on you? Hire a photographer instead!

Charge your batteries

Have all your cameras and smartphones ready, fully charged, connected to Wi-Fi, and prepared before the event begins.

Take photos first

Try to get the photos done early in the event. You’ll have time to get everything you want and folks are still fresh with the wonder of the visit. Then you can relax and just visit!

Photos with pets

Santa is usually good with animals, but there should be a lap blanket and plenty of advanced notice if you want photos with pets. If Santa has to visit someone else that day who is allergic to pets, he might not be able to hold your furry friend for the photo. Instead, he will ask you to hold them and stand or sit nearby.

 Santa Claus Reminders

✔ Santa is not likely to tell children they are on the naughty list, even if you ask him to.

✔ Santa is not likely to eat or drink beyond a few nibbles or sips. A bottle of water is always welcome. White gloves stain easily, and it can be difficult to keep a beard pristine.

✔ Santa will not accept any drink that is alcoholic. Remember, he has to drive the sleigh.

Lastly, if you really enjoy the visit, please leave a great review and give referrals. And if possible, send Santa any photos that can be shared. That way, you help support the Arts and make even more Christmas magic possible for those in your community! ❤️🤍

Experience the Magic of Santa Claus Up Close!

Magical Santa Home Visits

Turn your living room into a festive wonderland with Santa home visits from a professional Santa Claus entertainer. Songs, stories, and unforgettable memories await. Dive in and see how to make your home visit the most memorable one yet!

Get ready to believe in the magic all over again.

Close your eyes and imagine a world bathed in soft, golden light from twinkling fairy lights, the comforting aroma of freshly baked gingerbread teasing your senses. The gentle hiss and pop from a roaring fireplace blend harmoniously with the distant sound of carolers. Then, as the enchantment thickens the air, a knock resonates at your front door, heralding the surprise visit of the one and only Santa Claus at your Christmas party, eager to spin an evening of dreams for you and your loved ones.

Why Invite Santa Claus for a Home Visit?

The true magic of Christmas isn’t in all the gifts under the Christmas tree or the lavish feasts; it’s in the experiences we share, the memories we create. Inviting Santa Claus to your home is an invitation to a deeper, more enchanting realm of Christmas – a world where legends come alive, and imagination knows no bounds.

Imagine the looks on everyone’s faces when Santa arrives and Santa makes his grand entrance . Each laugh, each gasp of wonder, becomes a thread in the tapestry of tales told for generations to come.

Activities to Expect During Santa Home Visits

Carol singing with santa.

The Magic of Melodies: From the classics that have adorned countless Christmases to lesser-known North Pole tunes, Santa’s repertoire is vast and versatile. With each note, the room seems to grow warmer, brighter. Perhaps you’ll even learn a carol or two that’s exclusive to the elves! By the time the last notes of “Silent Night” reverberate, you’ll feel the very essence of Christmas in every corner of your heart.

Joining in the Chorus: Don’t just be a spectator; this is an interactive experience. Sing along, clap to the beat, or even take the lead on your kid’s favorite song. Santa’s booming voice guiding the melody and his jolly laughter filling in the gaps make this a truly communal celebration of the festive spirit.

Playful and Merry Games

North Pole Traditions: Dive into the playful world of reindeer games and elvish antics. Santa visits can bring a treasure trove of games from his home in the Arctic — some familiar, others mysterious, but all filled with wonder and delight. Perhaps you’ll engage in a snowball toss (without the frosty fingers) or embark on a scavenger hunt, seeking out hidden North Pole treasures around your home.

Shared Laughter: As dice roll and cards turn, it’s not just about who wins or loses but the shared laughter, the friendly banter, and the pure joy of playing under Santa’s jovial supervision. Each game becomes a memory, a story to be recounted at future Christmases.

Capturing the Moments: Photo Sessions with Santa

Setting the Scene: Santa is no stranger to the limelight. Under his guidance, transform photos of your living space into a picture-perfect Christmas tableau. Whether it’s in front of the Christmas tree, by the fireplace, or with a backdrop of twinkling lights, your photos are poised to be a masterpiece.

From Candid to Posed: While the traditional Santa-and-me portraits are a must, also look forward to candid moments — a shared joke, wide-eyed wonder, or even a playful wink. These spontaneous snapshots often hold the most treasured memories. And don’t forget the all important group photo – recording the one singular moment when all the kids were together.

Story Time: Magical Christmas Tales

Journey Beyond the Ordinary: Santa’s sack isn’t just filled with toys but also tales from the farthest corners of the world, and beyond. As he narrates, feel the room transform — the walls might echo with the northern lights, or the floor might chill with the touch of the Arctic snow. Every story is a passport to a world where magic is the norm.

Interactive Narration: It’s not just about listening. Santa encourages questions, interruptions for wild guesses, and even for little ones to weave their own endings. Perhaps the brave elf in the story gets a new name tonight, inspired by an eager listener in the room.

Sharing Christmas Wishes Directly

Heartfelt Conversations: This isn’t a rushed exchange. With a twinkle in his eye and an open heart, Santa leans in to listen to every wish, no matter how big or small. From the latest toy to world peace, every dream is valid, and every whisper finds a listening ear.

Magic in the Making: As wishes are whispered, Santa might give a knowing nod or a cryptic smile, making one wonder what surprises Christmas morning will hold. This is a moment of pure hope and wonder, a bond between the dreamer and the legendary gift-bringer.

Each of these activities isn’t just a mere task; it’s a thread in the rich tapestry of your Christmas celebration, made all the more memorable by Santa’s magical touch.

Preparing to Meet Santa: What Families Need to Know

Setting the scene.

Creating the Right Ambiance: The visit of a Santa Claus entertainer is a theatrical experience, so setting the right mood can heighten the delight. Soft lighting, comfortable seating, and perhaps a dedicated space for the entertainer to perform or interact with the family can make a difference. Having holiday melodies playing softly in the background sets a festive tone.

Props and Decor: The more festive your space looks, the more immersive the experience will be. Hang stockings, display holiday crafts, or even designate a special “Santa’s chair” for the entertainer to sit in.

Refreshments for Santa

A Considerate Gesture: While we often think of leaving treats out for Santa, it’s a thoughtful touch to offer your Santa Claus a refreshment. Whether it’s a glass of water, a cup of tea, or a plate of cookies, this gesture ensures he’s energized for the performance.

Personal Touches

Notes and Wish Lists: Encourage children to prepare any letters, wish lists, or drawings they might want to share with the Santa Claus entertainer. It can be a part of the interaction, making the experience feel genuine and engaging.

Incorporate Family Traditions: If you have special holiday traditions, let the entertainer know ahead of time. Whether you always tell a particular story or sing a specific song, the entertainer can weave these special needs into the visit, making it uniquely yours.

Safety First

Ensuring Easy Access: Make sure there’s a clear path for the entertainer to move around, especially if they bring props or gifts as part of their act. Clear any hazards to ensure a smooth performance.

Pre-visit Communication: If there are any particular guidelines or requirements you’d like the entertainer to know before person visit – maybe about house rules, pets, or specific family customs – it’s good to share these details ahead of time. Our Santa Claus is a professional who strives to make his visit seamless, fun and accommodating.

Embracing the Experience

Participation is Key: While the Santa Claus entertainer is there to lead the festivities, active group participation can elevate the experience. Whether it’s joining in a song, engaging a child in a story, or playing a game, being involved makes the visit memorable.

Preparing for the visit from a Santa Claus entertainer is all about blending your family’s traditions with the magic the entertainer brings. Together, these elements craft a festive evening filled with memories, joy, and holiday spirit.

Safety and Professionalism: Santa’s Promise

Santa’s visits, while magical, are rooted in the reality of today’s world. Every chuckle, every whispered secret is ensconced in an environment of safety. Rest assured, Santa’s age-old values are seamlessly merged with the latest health and safety protocols.

Testimonials: Magical Moments from Families

Packing up the sleigh.

The charm of Christmas lies not just in the day itself but in the myriad magical moments leading up to it. A personal visit from Santa Claus weaves these moments into a shimmering tapestry of joy, wonder, and warmth. It’s not just an event; it’s an heirloom, an experience passed down through stories, smiles, and sparkling eyes.

Testimonials

Customers Say It Best

We, at Visit With Santa, are proud of our dedication to help maintain the magic of the Christmas season. We strive to provide a unique, memorable, and magical experience for each and every family. That is why we continue to be the best virtual Santa visit company out there. But, don't just take our word for it, here are some words from some of our visitors.

​This evening we let the kids know we would get to video chat with Santa. They insisted on getting dressed up and the excitement began to build. Santa spoke calmly and with joy as he shared the things he knew about my children. We were unable to see Santa in person this year and this interaction surpassed our expectations. We can’t wait to get the video and revisit the magic our kids felt. We will be opting for this experience again next year. If your child is nervous, shy, or finds in person experiences difficult, or if like us, you don’t find waiting in line with active children a fun experience, this is a great option!

​We had the chance to visit with Santa today, it was seriously magical. My middle child was questioning the validity of Santa, but now her mind is blown. Santa knew sooo much about her and her brothers! I would highly recommend this to everyone. So easy, user friendly, you don't have to leave the house and there are no line ups!

​This was the most magical experience for our kids!!! Seeing Santa and being able to talk to him one on one was amazing!! Our kids loved every second of their call, they have talked about it every day since our call and already can’t wait to do it again!!!

What to Expect During a Santa Visit at Your Home or Business

Posted on April 18th, 2023

If you've never had a Santa Claus visit your home or business before, you may be wondering what to expect. Will he come down the chimney with a bag of presents? Will he eat your cookies and milk? While the answer to those questions may be no, there's still plenty of holiday magic to look forward to when you book a Santa Claus visit with Santa PopPop, LLC.

Here's what you can expect during a Santa Claus visit at your home or business:

A Jolly Arrival

One of the best things about a Santa Claus visit is the grand entrance. When I arrive at your home or business, I'll be in full costume, complete with my signature red and white suit, black boots, and of course, my big white beard. I'll greet everyone with a hearty "ho ho ho" and make my way inside to start spreading some holiday cheer.

Engaging and Entertaining

During a Santa Claus visit, I'll do more than just pose for photos. I'll engage and entertain your guests, whether they're children or adults. I'll chat with everyone about their Christmas wishes, tell stories about the North Pole, and maybe even sing a carol or two. If there are children present, I'll spend extra time with them, making sure they feel special and heard. And if you have any special requests or traditions you'd like me to participate in, just let me know – I'm always happy to accommodate.

Gifts and Surprises

If you've left gifts or stockings out for me to distribute, I'll be happy to pass them out to your guests. I can also bring small gifts or treats with me, like candy canes or small toys, to give to everyone. And if you have any special requests for surprise gifts or personalized messages, just let me know ahead of time and I'll do my best to make it happen.

Photos and Memories

No Santa Claus visit would be complete without some photos and memories to cherish. I'll pose for photos with your guests, both individually and as a group. If you have a photographer on hand, I'll work with them to make sure everyone gets a great shot. And if you'd like to record a video message from Santa, I can do that too.

A Magical Departure

When it's time for me to leave, I'll say my goodbyes and make my exit in a magical way. Whether it's waving from the sleigh or disappearing in a puff of smoke, I'll make sure your guests are left with a sense of wonder and magic.

Tips for a Successful Santa Claus Visit

If you're planning on having Santa Claus visit your home or business, there are a few things you can do to make sure the experience is a success. Here are some tips for a successful Santa Claus visit:

Before the Santa Claus visit, make sure to plan ahead. Decide on the date, time, and location of the visit, and make sure everyone involved knows the plan. If you're having Santa Claus visit your business, let your employees and customers know ahead of time so they can plan to be there.

Communicate with Santa Claus

If you have any special requests or traditions you'd like Santa Claus to participate in, make sure to communicate them ahead of time. This could include things like reading a story, passing out gifts, or posing for certain types of photos. By communicating with Santa Claus ahead of time, you can make sure the visit is tailored to your specific needs.

Prepare Your Guests

If you're having Santa Claus visit your home or business, make sure to prepare your guests ahead of time. Let them know when Santa Claus will be arriving, what to expect during the visit, and any special instructions they need to follow. If you're having children present, make sure to prepare them for the visit by talking to them about Santa Claus and what to expect.

Provide a Festive Atmosphere

To create a festive atmosphere for the Santa Claus visit, decorate your home or business with holiday decor. This could include things like a Christmas tree, stockings, and holiday lights. Make sure the area where Santa Claus will be visiting is clean and tidy, and provide plenty of seating for your guests.

Have a Plan for Photos

Photos are an important part of a Santa Claus visit, so make sure to have a plan in place for taking and sharing them. If you're having a photographer on hand, make sure they know when and where to take photos. If you're taking photos yourself, make sure to have a camera or smartphone ready. After the visit, make sure to share the photos with your guests so they can cherish the memories.

Emphasize Safety

During the Santa Claus visit, it's important to emphasize safety. Make sure the area where Santa Claus will be visiting is safe and secure, especially if children will be present. If you're having a large group of people present, make sure to have a plan in place for managing the crowd.

Show Appreciation

After the Santa Claus visit, make sure to show appreciation for Santa Claus and anyone else involved in making the visit a success. This could include a thank-you note, a small gift, or even a shout-out on social media. By showing appreciation, you can help ensure that Santa Claus and his helpers will be happy to visit again in the future.

In addition to the aforementioned experiences, there are a few other things you can expect when you book a Santa Claus visit with Santa PopPop, LLC.

First and foremost, you can expect professionalism and reliability. As a seasoned professional Santa Claus, I take my role very seriously. That means arriving on time, staying in character throughout the visit, and ensuring that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

You can also expect a natural and authentic Santa Claus portrayal. At Santa PopPop, LLC, I take pride in my realistic and genuine Santa look, complete with a real beard, rosy cheeks, and twinkling eyes. I'll speak with a deep, jolly voice and engage your guests with warmth and humor.

And perhaps most importantly, you can expect a personalized and memorable experience. Every Santa Claus visit is unique, and I'm dedicated to making sure that your visit is tailored to your specific needs and desires. Whether you have a large group of children or a small family gathering, I'll work with you to create an experience that everyone will remember for years to come.

So why wait? Whether you're hosting a corporate party, visiting a hospital or nursing home, or just looking to add some extra holiday magic to your home, a Santa Claus visit from Santa PopPop, LLC is the perfect choice. Contact me today to schedule your visit and get ready to experience the joy and wonder of the holiday season like never before.

Home Parties and Visits

Our Christmas Season offerings include a hybrid of Live and Virtual visits (recorded video messages and live, interactive video calls). Everyone here at the North Pole wants to keep your family and friends healthy. Santa True is fully vaccinated and would be happy to be part of your safe seasonal events

With some thoughtful event preparation and planning, let’s make this a Christmas to be remembered!

Outline of an In-Person Visit

An In-Person Visit from Santa True starts at approximately 30 minutes at the location of your choosing (home, rec room, restaurant, office) . Santa makes a Grand Entrance , has a Meet and Greet time, then it’s time for some fun Photos . The children can Tell Santa what they want , there’s time for Question and Answer with Santa , and some Singing and Storytelling . Finally, if there are Gifts (provided by the hosts that Santa has hidden in his gift bag) , these are distributed at the end. Everyone does a Big Countdown and gifts are opened as Santa makes his exit. (This helps keep the children from running out to “see the reindeer.”)

To secure the visit, we put together an event contract with all the specifics of the visit. Your date and time has a “soft hold” on our calendar until the contract comes back by the contract deadline. A visit starts at $300, with $150 non-refundable retainer required to save the date/time on our calendar. (Longer events or Corporate events are priced differently.)

When we have received payment, then we will send you the event questionnaire. This is how you provide the secret information Santa would know, as well as any access information needed (like security code to come into a gate, restrictions about parking, or where the gifts for children will be hidden before Santa comes in).

Please email us at [email protected] if you’d like to find a day and time on our calendar for a Home Visit.

• Our 2022 Calendar is almost fully booked with weekends having the fewest options available.
• If you are open to a weekday visit, there are more options still remaining.
• There are no in-person visits available outside of Southern California

If an in-person visit cannot be scheduled, please take a look at our Virtual Visit options.

How To Make the Best Visit

Having Santa come to your home is a wondrous thing for young and old alike. Here are some quick tips to making this the very best party or visit possible.

• Make certain Santa has an assigned contact who will have their phone on (and charged), just in case. This contact person should check their phone regularly.
• If there are any pets who might be over-excited by a big guy in a fur-trimmed suit, it might be best for them to relax elsewhere, in a closed room.
• You will want to have all your cameras and devices ready and charged.
• Where should Santa sit for photos? Well, Santa’s suit is pretty warm, so not too close to fireplaces. It is also helpful to seat Santa away from large reflective surfaces (like mirrors and glass doors). We don’t want flash bounce to ruin your pictures.
• Santa will probably need a helper or two. Santa True will send you information on just how those assistants can help out.
• Any finances are best dealt with beforehand and “off stage.” But if there is any balance or payment due, the best way to handle this is to put the money into a Christmas Card and hand it to Santa, as he is leaving.
• Coordination is important. It could be awkward for Santa to show up in the middle of a meal or when someone has just run to the store for some more eggnog. Please have someone who will bring everyone together, to be ready when Santa shows up.
• In many people’s minds, Santa usually comes down the chimney. But if he’s arriving by car, you need to have a specially reserved parking spot for him. An easy way to do this is to have one of the cars in the driveway pulled all the way back (closest to the street). When Santa arrives, the Helper pulls this car forward and Santa pulls in behind him. Make certain Santa has all the security information, if you live in a gated community.
• Speaking of cars and reindeer, it’s not unusual for children to want to follow Santa out. Be ready to have a distraction to pull the kids away, after you hear him call out, “Happy Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night!”
• Seating is important. A sturdy, straight back, dining room chair will often do fine. You can decorate around it and even put it next to your Christmas Tree. But people will need to have easy access around it. And we don’t want any gifts to be trampled.
• If there are any people with Special Needs, make certain Santa knows. If someone is in a wheel chair or bedridden, Santa can easily go to them. Or he may need help if the person uses ASL, etc. When children are present, there must be an adult serving as the child wrangler remaining with Santa at all times.
• If Santa is handing out gifts for you, put them in a heavy-duty plastic trash bag. Santa True will transfer them into his own bag. Write the names in bold ink, on the wrapping paper itself. Tags fall off all the time. Santa will ask the helpers to help him hand out the presents, and to help pronounce the names if needed. If there are a lot of gifts, Santa may recruit some elves to bring them in. Please let Santa know if there are any special issues before he offers to hand out candy canes.

“I believe in Santa Claus” is something we have all said. How difficult is it to find a real Santa Claus?  Your search has ended!  Santa Shane – A real Santa Claus; with his real Santa Hair, his real Santa Claus Beard, and his real Santa Claus Suit is ready to visit you! In-Person in Wisconsin or Virtually, anywhere in the country.

Everybody’s wish in this Holiday season is a visit from a Real Santa Claus for Christmas.  Christmas memories are filled with a few things: children, Santa, presents, and presence.  Don’t miss out this year, book an in person or virtual Santa visit today!  

When you schedule a visit from a Real Santa Claus, Santa will call his contact to let them know he is about to appear for your visit.  This allows time for you to get children and other guests inside and ready for the big arrival!  The Christmas magic begins as Santa enters the room with a big ho-ho-ho, jiggling his bells and accessing how the children are accepting him.  Santa does not like to approach children immediately if they are afraid.  The idea is to have children who are not afraid give Santa a hug, a high five or shake his hand.  This is good for the children who are afraid to see and get more comfortable.  Santa also likes to give special attention to senior adults, because Santa Claus brings back so many special memories for them. Santa Claus effects everybody in so many different ways.  Then, depending upon the group that is in attendance, Santa can pass out presents and pose with children, families, and guests for photographs, as Santa likes to interact with each person individually.  You might have read that Santa’s background was in childcare, and he has been doing this for more than a decade.

Santa knows what small children usually like, what tweens and teens don’t like (not to sit on Santa Claus’s lap), and of course, the senior adults – they love the Man in the red suit!  

Depending upon the time allotted, Santa can read the story  Twas the Night Before Christmas .  If you would like to print out song lyrics the group and Santa can sing along to some carols you have printed out. 

Christmas and Santa go together like macaroni and cheese. 

As a parent or guardian, you likely grew up with Christmas Santa visits. 

Santa Shane is available for in person visits – to your home, office, or elsewhere – in Wisconsin Dells – Madison –  Milwaukee and areas in-between. Alternatively, this virtual Santa can schedule a Zoom Virtual Christmas Party with any number of your family members spread out across the country. Are you unable to go visit Santa Claus in person with children?  This real Santa Claus is available to visit you virtually via Zoom!  Anybody can be a Santa Claus. This is not just a phone number to call a Santa; this is a real Santa Claus interacting live with your children.  In person, or via Zoom.   Book your visit today!

If Grandparents or other family members live far away, they can join in on the video chat with Zoom.  How fun will it be for Grandma or Grandpa to see the excitement on your children’s faces when they see this real Santa Claus virtually?   They too can join in on the video call and watch as Santa visits your home virtually through Zoom .  

Santa Claus with a Real Beard travels from Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, to Madison, Wisconsin to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and areas in-between.

This real Santa has residences in Wisconsin and the North Pole.

While Santa Shane might not arrive in a real Santa Sleigh, you can be sure this Santa will arrive with his Santa real beard, and real Santa Claus suit.  That’s right; this is not a bad Santa Claus costume!  But an authentic Santa Claus suit. 

There is nothing more precious at Christmas time than Santa Claus with children. Santa home visits and corporate events are available again this upcoming Christmas season.  While Santa likes to visit homes in a car, and not a real Santa Sleigh (parking is so difficult with the sleigh!), Santa Shane comes to you with a real Santa Claus suit, and a real Santa beard.

What People Are Saying

Santa John has done a wonderful job as our Santa at our Annual Candy Cane Hunt. From Brownies to Senior Girl Scouts he has related to each group on their level. He even brought a keyboard and had the children singing Christmas carols. He is authentic in his appearance as Santa as well as the character of Santa.

— Girl Scouts of Western Ohio. https://www.gswo.org/

Whether at the keyboard, singing Christmas carols with children, visiting one on one or doing a virtual visit Santa is excited to connect with children from all over the world. While the white beard and red suit may help identify Santa, it is the having the heart of Santa and the ability to relate to each and every child that he comes into contact with that makes for a magical experience.

Santa John began doing volunteer work for the Girl Scouts of Southwestern Ohio at their annual Candy Cane Hunt. Santa connected with the children right away. It was such a wonderful experience. He then began his journey as a professional Santa.

Santa John has had the opportunity to visit with children throughout the United States, Canada, military bases and all over the word through virtual visits. He has also had the opportunity to meet in person with children in Southwest Ohio as well as Northern Kentucky at:

• Bass Pro Shop
• Holiday Junction at the Cincinnati Museum Center
• Entertrainment Junction
• The Moraine Country Club
• Sycamore Creek Country Club

That is not all of the places you may have seen Santa John. You may have observed him visiting with children and posing for pictures at Disney World, amusement parks, grocery stores and Costco talking to children in an informal setting. After all, just because you take the suit off doesn’t mean that children and adults don’t recognize Santa when he is out and about and on vacation. There are many ways to connect with Santa Claus. Other than for Santa to visit live in your home or for your family to visit with Santa at the North Pole, the best way is to have a live, interactive, virtual meeting between Santa Claus and your child is by requesting it here. Request your Virtual Zoom call with Santa and create a magical experience for your family.

Where does the Russian Santa live?

In Russia, a kind grandfather who brings children presents at New Year ( Russians celebrate Christmas differently ) is called Ded Moroz [Grandfather Frost]. He is a fairytale character from Slavic mythology who personifies winter and the cold. Like his American “colleague”, Santa Claus, the Russian Ded Moroz receives letters from children, in which they tell him what they have been dreaming of and how they have behaved during the year. But unlike Santa, Ded Moroz has not one, but several houses! Let's take a walk around his dominions.

His main residence is in Veliky Ustyug

The ancestral estate of Ded Moroz is situated in a pine forest 15 km (9.32 mi.) from one of the most beautiful towns in the Russian North, Veliky Ustyug (about 450 km [280 mi.] northeast of Vologda, the capital of Vologda Region). It officially opened to visitors in 1998 and sees over 250,000 tourists every year. The estate is open all year round, but the main festivities begin after November 18, Ded Moroz's birthday. It is considered that on this day winter arrives in the Russian North. He lives here with his wife Zima [Winter] and his helpers.

The possessions of Ded Moroz are quite extensive: On the premises of his residence is a post office (where all the letters addressed to “Ded Moroz” are delivered), a children's theme park, a fair, a forge, a glacier (which maintains a temperature of -15 degrees Celsius all year round, so that Grandfather Frost doesn't melt!) and the Path of Fairy Tales.

The house of Ded Moroz is made of wood in the shape of a traditional two-storey Russian terem. It’s known as the Magic Control Center. Inside, it has 12 rooms and each depicts the everyday life of Ded Moroz . One room is a library, another is an observatory, a third is a cloakroom and a fourth keeps children's fairy tales. A separate room is allocated to presents. Yes, Ded Moroz likes presents, too! Usually he receives them from his “colleagues” in other regions of the country and the world. The other rooms are used by his helpers, who bring letters, make presents and sew his outfits.

The most magical room in his terem is the Room of Wishes. They say that all wishes made in it to the ringing of a small bell come true within a year. When Ded Moroz goes to bed, he has dreams about the wishes made by his visitors, and this is how he knows about all the wishes. Every day he has a new pillow: The smallest one is for Monday and the biggest for Sunday, since more visitors come towards the weekend, when he has to have more dreams about their wishes.

By the way, little visitors can enter the School of Magic at his residence and receive a certificate confirming them as helper to Ded Moroz . The course is challenging and includes frost studies, ice sculpture and the ethics of magic messages. But children usually never miss these lessons.

The Moscow estate

Ded Moroz also has a “branch office” at Kuzminki Park in Moscow (in the southeast of the city). He often visits the capital and receives visitors. During the New Year holidays, a fair, an ice-skating rink and even a theater in which the magician's helpers perform, open at the estate.

You can visit it all year round, but to get a glimpse inside Ded Moroz's house, be sure to book in advance, since he is not here every day!

Apart from this estate, a few years ago Grandfather Frost acquired “apartments” in the Empire Tower in Moscow City. However, you can only see him there during the New Year holidays. And what a magnificent view opens up on the 55th floor! A fairy tale!

Snegurochka's residence in Kostroma

Ded Moroz has a granddaughter, Snegurochka [the Snow Maiden], who always helps him to distribute presents. She has her own small house in Kostroma, an old city on the banks of the River Volga, where she lives with a talking cat called Kot Bayun (which can send a person to sleep in minutes) and her helpers (house spirits responsible for order in the house). Ded Moroz often comes to see her and brings presents, not just for her, but also her visitors, whom she loves to receive. The Snow Maiden also doesn't like the heat and that is why her terem has an Ice Chamber, in which one can always cool down with an ice cream! She also has a letter box for Ded Moroz .

Where else can you meet Ded Moroz ?

Many ethnic groups in Russia have their own winter magicians - they are “brothers” of the Russia-wide Ded Moroz . For example, in Yakutia it is Chys Khaan, in Udmurtia Tol Babay and in Tatarstan Qış Babay ( Kysh Babay) . And, by the way, all of them regularly visit one another and exchange presents!
