Before you book a Santa Claus impersonator in Dallas, it helps to have a short list of questions ready so the visit you picture is the visit that shows up at your door. Write the date, how many children will come up, and whether you want a real bearded Santa or traditional Santa before you pick up the phone. Those three notes keep the conversation on the visit itself.
Real Bearded Santa or Traditional Santa
Ask which Santa you want for the photos you have in mind. A real bearded Santa has his own beard and hair, which reads well in close-up photos around the tree. A traditional Santa wears the traditional suit with a full styled beard and is the lower-cost choice when the pictures will be taken from a few steps back. Close-up portraits around the tree are a good match for a real bearded Santa.
The Suit and the Time
Santa arrives in the full red suit, boots and belt, already dressed for the living room. You do not need a spare costume in the closet. For time, match the minutes to the number of children who will come up to him so each child gets a turn without rushing the last name on the list.
Add-Ons, Names and Gifts
Mrs. Claus or elves can join as add-ons if you want a fuller scene around Santa. Have the children’s names written down, keep the gifts labeled, and hand those gifts to a grown-up before Santa comes in so he can pass them in order. One adult should be the contact on the day, standing close enough to help with names and the next gift.
Photos and How You Confirm
Phones are welcome, and the host decides who takes the pictures while Santa sits with the children. Confirm the booking by phone, or send the form below with the date and the kind of visit. Hire Santa Dallas books from that call or that form.
Ask While Dates Are Still Open
Ask those questions early, because when December dates fill up the evenings you wanted are already taken. Families call from Lakewood, Preston Hollow, Plano and Richardson with the same short list: beard, suit, time, add-ons and who hands the gifts. The Santa services page lists the visits you can choose from once those answers are clear.
If the line is busy, contact us through the form on that page and we will call you back. Keep the children’s names and the date in front of you so the conversation stays short. The questions above cover a family visit or a small party at home, and a company lunch uses the beard question with a different room.
Write the children’s names the way they are said at home, including nicknames if that is what Santa should use. Labeled gifts should already be in one adult’s hands before he comes through the front hall. Ask the beard question first so the photos you want match the Santa who arrives.
A real bearded Santa and traditional Santa both arrive in the full red suit, boots and belt. The difference is the beard and hair, and that is the question that shapes the photos. Time is the other question: enough minutes for every child, without rushing the last name.
Lakewood and Preston Hollow families can ask those questions on the call, and so can families in Plano and Richardson. The form below takes the date if the phone is busy. Keep one adult as the contact so Santa hears names from a single person.
