Weekday visits are available in 2024! Book early to reserve yours.
So much magic! So many little faces transfixed, seeing the Real Live Santa and Mrs. Claus! They are only young for a little while, and if you have or work with children, you know the value of sharing positive experiences in their "formative years". If you are reading this page, thank you for looking for a way to give your little ones the gift of another happy memory this holiday season!
Every December, we make visits to daycares, preschools, childcare centers, country clubs, town tree lightings, corporate holiday parties, family events, Breakfast With Santa, libraries and recreation departments, and private homes. The visits vary in procedure depending on the venue, but all visits include both Santa and Mrs. Claus, and can last as long as you need them for your event.
Rates are affordable, and vary depending on your distance, length of time needed, and number of children you expect. An entire festive holiday setting is available for an extra charge, to help you make the experience, and your photos, truly amazing! The photo below is from our annual visit to the Town of Gorham, Maine.

This set-up needs about 45 minutes to load in and set up; then we need a private room with a mirror and access to water (a large bathroom is great!) and about 45 minutes to "make the Clauses magically appear", ready for the visit. Ask us about details and logistics. Contact us if your organization is interested in this awesome "photo op" with our Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Preschools/Daycares/Childcare Centers:
A typical visit lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of children. If your facility has more than one classroom grouped by age, we visit all the ones you feel are appropriate (yes, we even visit with infants! Although, they do tend not to know what's going on...but they're so adorable in a photo to send home to the parents!)
Many places have Santa and Mrs. Claus hand out gifts that are provided by the parents or the venue. For this, we arrive a few minutes before the scheduled visit, and privately load all the gifts into Santa's big sack(s). Then, we make our jolly appearance with laughs, "Ho Ho Ho"s, and--of course--the ringing of sleigh bells! When we enter the room where the visit is held, we'll make our way to where Santa and Mrs. Claus will sit (please provide seating for both of us), and we take it from there. Just make sure you have your cameras ready to take a bunch of priceless photos of your kiddos with The Clauses!
For an accurate price quote, let us know the number of children, how much time you'll need, and where you're located (so we can figure the mileage).

Public Events (Tree Lightings, Breakfast With Santa, Etc.):
Usually for this type of visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, we arrive before you expect your "audience" to arrive, and get seated. (Again, please provide seating for both Santa and Mrs. Claus.) Then, when it's time to open the doors and let the families visit, we're there as long as you need! For public events, it's usually a couple of hours or less; if you have a humongous crowd and need more time, let us know when you book, and we'll figure the right time/cost to suit your needs.
Some venues also book the "full setting", as described earlier. We have been the official Santa and Mrs. Claus for the town of Gorham, Maine for 21 years. In years past, we'd ride in the parade on top of a fire engine, light the town tree, then settle into our visit "room", complete with the setting you see above. In 2020, we naturally couldn't visit directly with the families, so Gorham got creative and put us in a giant inflatable snowglobe for the annual Light Parade!

Corporate Events, Country Clubs, Homes:
Most often, we are asked to pass out gifts (provided by the parents/facility), and we arrange ahead of time where to pick them up and load them into Santa's sack(s). We coordinate with you on the day of the event, usually by text, so our arrival is timed perfectly within your holiday celebration. We make that famous joyful "Ho ho ho" entrance with sleigh bells, and proceed to visit with the children. Contact us if you'd like to have The Clauses make an appearance at your holiday party!
