A professional Santa, not a rented suit
Anyone can rent a Santa suit. Santa Joe trained to be Santa — so when he walks in ringing his sleigh bells, children don’t see a costume. They see Santa.
He is a graduate of Pro Santa School and of the Northern Lights Santa School, and that training shows at every visit: the entrance that stops a room, the patience with shy and scared little ones, and the moment each child gets to talk with Santa himself.
Nothing about him is off the rack. His suits are custom made, the bells are real solid-brass sleigh bells, and his beard, wig and mustache are real human hair, hand-tied and fitted just for him — real enough for the closest inspection. And yes, the HO HO HO is very convincing.
You’ll find him at homes, schools, hospitals, parties, offices and apartment complexes, booked by the visit or by the hour.

Where Santa Joe appears
Spread Christmas cheer with Santa Joe’s home visits, corporate gatherings and school and group appearances.
Home Visits
Families & Christmas EveMake your children's Christmas special with a visit from Santa Claus. To work the magic of keeping Santa alive, Santa Joe asks for a little information about each child who will be there — their favourite colour, their teacher, the pet's name — and uses it while he talks with the children.
Corporate Gatherings
Offices & Christmas partiesSanta Joe also does corporate gatherings, during working hours or at the annual Christmas party, with children present or adults only. Santa Joe interacts with everyone.
Schools & Groups
Schools, clubs & communitiesSanta Joe has performed at schools, country clubs and apartment complexes, and has regularly appeared at Breakfast with Santa at the Duke Mansion. He uses his skills to reach even the shyest children, and makes sure every child is pleased to meet Santa.
Good to knowSanta Joe brings a large toy bag. If you have a gift for each child that you would like Santa to hand out, wrap it with a clear label showing the child’s printed name. The gifts go into Santa’s toy bag for delivery.

What families and planners say
Santa Joe came to our Preschool Party and he was amazing! His entrance was perfect and the kids stood in amazement! He spent time with each of the kids and made them all feel comfortable. He even had ideas to get the shy kiddos to come talk with him! I will definitely book him again next year!
I hired Santa Joe to appear at a business meeting we had in mid-December 2017 in Mooresville NC. He was a surprise to most of the attendees and did an excellent job greeting everyone and taking pictures. He has a wonderful, traditional Santa appearance and a HUGE toy bag that was perfect for the 15+ packages we had him hand out. Santa Joe was prompt in responding to my questions and very easy to work with.
Santa Joe was on time and came in with jingle bells so everyone knew he had arrived. He was warm and friendly. He took pictures with all the guests and was patient with the little ones who were scared. I would definitely hire him again!
Santa Joe did an awesome job at our neighborhood event! The kids loved him and the parents were amazed at how closely related to Santa he looked. Will book Santa Joe again next year!
We had Santa Joe come our family Christmas December 22 and he was excellent!! We have 8 grandchildren…all ages and he was great with all of them! He even had fun with the adults! I would highly recommend him!

Helpful hints
Tips for a smooth Santa visit
- Please have the room temperature no higher than 68°.
- Have a sturdy place for Santa to sit — no La-Z-Boy chairs, and please not near a roaring fire.
- Keep the children a few feet away from Santa, especially while he is bringing in presents.
- If you have provided presents for Santa to hand out, let him know where they are and have the names clearly printed on each package.
- Tape the tags on securely, and no gift bags — things fall out too easily.
- For a home visit, please have the children inside when Santa arrives — he wouldn’t want them to see him getting out of his sleigh.
- Take as many pictures as you like. But if your baby or child is screaming, it is not a good time for the child or for Santa.
