Hire a Santa

Many joyful memories of Christmas centre around the excitement, belief, and magic of Santa Claus.

Hopeful children write their letters and dream of busy elves creating special presents just for them. They cannot help but be enveloped in the festive spirit as parties and get-togethers bring treats, friends, and a special visit from Santa. Even adults cannot resist the chance to relive their own memories of Jolly Old St. Nick. What better way to revive and rekindle the magic of the season than with Santa by your side.

Santa is available for hire in Toronto, Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) for a wide range of Santa Services such as Private Parties, Corporate, Public and Charity Events and more.

Our Santa's friendly, gentle and personable approach makes him a great option to hire for a wide range of events, appearances and experiences. Find an option that fits your needs and then make sure to Book Now to guarantee you make the "good list".

As Christmas approaches, the question "Have you remembered to be good" is something Santa's friends, young and old, often ask themselves. Fortunately, Santa's elves have some comforting insider information relating to this quandary. Without a shadow of a doubt, Santa Claus is the nicest and most good-humoured person on the planet!

If you have done your best at trying to be good, you can rest assured that your name will be found on the elves' List of the World's Well Behaved Children.

Place and Date of Birth of Santa Claus

Santa Claus's roots lie far in the north. His place of birth is shrouded in the mystery of many tales, but we do know that centuries ago he made his home in Lapland, in the northernmost region of Finland. The Arctic Circle has always been a dear and delightful place for Santa, as many of the fairytale secrets of Christmas have their roots in this magical area.

There is reliable and precise information about when Santa was born; on Santa's reindeer driver's licence, his date of birth reads "A very long time ago".

Real Stories

What People Are Saying

"

We hired Santa For Hire for our son's Christmas party. The performance was professional and precise. The songs, the lyrics — every actor played their part well.

Samantha

Private Family Party

"

We needed a Santa for our 33rd anniversary. We searched the web the night before and all the companies had closed early — but when we called, their booking agent was still taking calls. Convenience and availability — that is exactly what we got.

Mario

Corporate Anniversary Event

"

We needed our Santa to give out gifts to specific people and read specific thank-you messages to them. All of our staff loved it! We made sure Santa knew their names and knew what to say.

Santa Claus In Nature

Santa Claus has always had a close relationship with nature. He spends a great deal of time with his elves in the forests, on northern fells and the wilderness, sometimes travelling on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, sometimes pulled on a sled by a team of huskies, occasionally on skis or with a rowing boat. In summer, Santa likes to pick berries and one of his favorite pastimes in winter is to marvel the magnificent northern lights.

Santa also believes that healthy nature is one of the best gifts we can pass on to future generations.

Santa's Inner Circle of Friends

Elves are very close helpers of Santa Claus, who help him with all the Christmas preparations, remind children to be good and make sure Santa Claus takes regular breaks to drink his hot chocolate. Santa's reindeer don't care that much for hot chocolate, but taking part in the great Christmas journey is definitely the highlight of their year. Mrs Claus has been one of Santa's closest helpers for already a few centuries too.

In addition to these important helpers, Santa's inner circle of friends also includes all those who are passionate about stories and tales. Yes, he counts you as his friend too.

Christmas Wishes

At Christmastime, Santa Claus travels around the world to distribute gifts. Year after year, children's letters sent to Santa Claus are wish lists for an enormous number of toys, games, dolls and toy cars, while grown-ups commonly ask for health, peace and love for themselves, their family and friends.

Santa Claus himself thinks that one of the best things about Christmas is good spirit. This is a gift always on top of the enormous pile of Christmas gifts.

Life and Pastimes of Santa Claus

"Work" is a word that Santa Claus finds a little strange, and he often starts to smile when he hears that word. He is a busy man, especially around Christmas, but he doesn't think he's really working; so much he likes what he's doing.

Santa Claus has a number of hobbies, and we know he is interested in at least archaeology, astronomy and building snowmen. Sitting by the campfire and watching the amazing Northern Lights is something Santa loves doing, just as skateboarding and fishing. Santa Claus is also a great fan of taking naps, and above all, he simply loves reading all the letters he is sent.

Santa Claus' home is located far in the north, but he also lives in the wondrous world of stories and tales. In this world of stories and tales, many matters are playfully true and truthfully play, and people of all ages are always welcome to join!

We work with the most professional Santas available for every occasion, whether it is for a Christmas holiday party or delivering presents to your children at home. Let our real Santas bring the spirit and excitement of the holiday season to your special event. Our Santa Claus entertainers are available in Toronto and the surrounding areas.

How to Successfully Organize a Santa Claus Party For Your Kids

A lot of thinking and planning is required when organizing an event for children. Dealing with kids involves a lot of patience and creativity, however at the same time it can be a lot of fun. Choosing an excellent Santa Claus is essential — you can have all the right ingredients for a great party, but if your Santa is not up to par, then it is no good.

Things to think about before booking:

  1. 1.Target Audience — Who will be present? What would they like Santa to say?
  2. 2.Presentation and Speech — What would you like Santa to say? Do you want Santa to come in singing or saying "Ho Ho Ho"?
  3. 3.Other resources — Does your event require photography? Do you need a backdrop, balloons, or other items?
  4. 4.Other performers — Do you need Mrs. Claus, reindeer, or elves?

Matching entertainment to age groups

Ages 1–4

Singing rhymes, Christmas songs, clowns, or a puppet show work well. Keep makeup minimal. Fancy dress games are a big hit.

Ages 5–8

Theme-based parties with magic shows, dance, painting competitions, and storytelling with Santa Claus are perfect for this group.

Ages 9–12

Organized entertainment like music shows, professional magic, treasure hunts, and art & craft. Sitting on Santa's lap and sharing Christmas wishes is always a favourite.

Make it easier on yourself

  • ✓Keep it short and simple — children have limited attention spans, so keep games quick and straightforward.
  • ✓Keep a big team — allocate enough helpers to manage different age groups.
  • ✓Lunch — keep food limited to snacks; children are fussy and elaborate meals often go to waste.
  • ✓Safety — always have a safety kit handy and supervise all activities.
  • ✓Return gifts — goody bags and candies are the best parting gifts for children.
