πŸŽ… December Bookings Open

Santa Visits in Staten Island & Central NJ

Santa comes to you β€” your living room, your office party, your school hall. Photos with every child, gift giving from his sack, carols, and a reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. From $250, no deposit, and no travel fees to nearby towns.

December is the shortest month we sell.

There are only four weekends before Christmas and one Santa. The two weekends closest to the 25th go first every year. There's no deposit on staffed entertainment, so holding a date costs you nothing up front β€” call or text and we'll pencil you in.

A Santa Who Knows What He's Doing

The hard part of a Santa visit isn't the suit. It's the child who freezes at the door, the toddler who bursts into tears, the eight-year-old who has decided to test him with a trick question. Our Santa has done this for years and knows how to handle all three without the room going quiet.

He arrives in costume, greets the children by name if you send us a list, and works the room at the pace of the group β€” slower with the little ones, more banter with the older kids. Every child gets a proper turn and a photo, not a rushed handshake on the way past.

We're in-house, so the Santa who shows up is on our team. We're not booking you a stranger from an agency directory and hoping for the best. Read our no-subcontractors policy β†’

Santa Questions

As early as you can. December weekends are the tightest dates we sell all year, and the two weekends before Christmas usually fill first. There's no deposit, so booking early costs you nothing up front.
You provide the gifts and we bring the sack. Have them labelled with each child's name and set aside before we arrive, and Santa will hand them out one at a time so every child gets their moment.
The 30-minute photo visit is sized for about 6 children, the 1-hour Santa's List for about 10, and Storybook Santa for about 15. Gift giving takes real time per child, which is why the photo-and-gift packages cover fewer kids than the story package. Tell us your headcount and we'll tell you which one actually fits.
It happens at nearly every party with toddlers, and our Santa expects it. He stays seated, keeps his voice low, and lets the child come to him rather than reaching for them. Plenty of kids who won't go near him at the start are on his knee by the end. And if they're not, that's fine too β€” we won't force a photo.
Yes. We do corporate parties, schools, daycares, church halls and community events as well as homes. For larger groups, add a second character or extra time so nobody is standing in line too long.
No deposit on staffed entertainment, including Santa. Payment is due when Santa arrives. Physical equipment and DIY rentals have their own rental terms, which we go over before you book.
