Santa Mike started his Santa Journey several years ago when he was approached to be a Santa at a large Corporate Event for a friend.  As he had always wondered about the Santa Experience, he decided to embrace this opportunity.  He immediately bought a professional Santa suit, and boots for the occasion. Thus, a new Santa was born.  His tall physique, robust body, real white beard, jolly smile, and deep brown eyes makes him a perfect and photogenic Santa!

Since this initial event, Santa Mike has perfected his craft and appearance.  He has invested in several styles of Santa Suits to fit your exact needs. Santa Mike has also perfected the art of storytelling.  His visits can include his remote controlled, interactive, electronic elf who is sure to entertain children of all ages.  Santa Mike knows how to make your Holiday special, unique, and memorable with the warm-hearted Christmas magic that spreads joy and excitement to folks everywhere.

The allure of Candy Claus extends beyond the traditional holiday settings that she naturally blends into. Whether it’s her warm smile, the engaging stories she shares, or the authentic joy she brings to every interaction, Candy Claus is more than just a seasonal character; she’s the catalyst for genuine holiday cheer.


Her wholesome and joyful spirit embodies the holiday season like no other, making her a cherished addition to any celebration. The magic of Candy Claus is that while she perfectly complements Santa, her character stands out independently, bringing a unique touch of Christmas magic to your event.


Candy Claus embodies the spirit of the holidays with her warm, engaging personality. Her presence at an event, with or without Santa Claus, creates a cozy, festive atmosphere that is both heartwarming and enchanting.
Mrs Candy Claus first began her Christmas journey back in High School when she dressed  as an elf to entertain her nieces and nephews at Christmas. Her love of the magical Christmas spirit continued through the years as she worked with children in scouts, youth groups, and more.


Through the years her magical Christmas spirit has been shared with many. Her legendary homemade cookie and candy baskets have been coveted by her friends, coworkers and family.


Make sure you book Candy Claus so she can bring her joy and magic to your own Holiday event!
