Description

Santa Claus for hire across the San Francisco Bay Area — a real-beard santa who served as the resident Santa at a beloved Vallejo Christmas house for two magical years, delighting hundreds of children each day in December. Now available for private family santa visit photo sessions, corporate holiday party santa appearances, milestone birthday celebrations, holiday markets, and community gatherings across the Bay Area. Authentic-look real-beard santa, 5.0-star rated across verified reviews on the GigSalad performer network.
