"Twas the Night Before Christmas"

Christmas Is Coming

What does Santa have planned for this year 2023 


Hi! Welcome to Santa Ted's (and Mrs. Claus) Web site. We hope you enjoy it.


Christmas in July

Though planning for the Christmas Season is far off, "Christmas in July" is coming up shortly. Santa Ted is available for business promotions, company picnics, birthday parties, parades, Luaus, and many other occasions.

Booking is ongoing, so if you want a weekend (weekday also) appearance, now is the time to check and see if that day is available, as some dates are already booked.



Starting in September, and going through the beginning of December, Santa Ted will be sitting with some local photographers and their clients doing family photo portraits for this Christmas Season.


He will  again be  opening the Christmas Season at The Mosaic Mall in Fairfax, Virginia,  this year, starting the Friday evening after Thanksgiving.  This will be the tree lighting ceremony as Santa arrives by a Fairfax County Fire Department  fire truck.  He will be there that weekend  and other weekend days throughout  the Season. When not at the Mall, he will be  doing  personal appearances in  the - Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia (DMV) area.


Since graduating from the acting and modeling school at John Casablanca's in Baltimore, MD, he has appeared in a commercial and has done some background work with some local companies.


When it comes to Christmas, the bookings have already started this January.   So if you are looking to hire a Santa this year, I am the one you want but book soon, as last year. I had to turn away many people who waited till the last minute. Don't wait until the last minute -Read the comments below to see why - 

Client Feedback

"Best looking Santa I have ever seen"

Multiple Anons Every Year

"Well Done, well done!" Night of doing Sneak-A-Peek" and the next day, "the kids have not stopped looking at the video all day with their friends."

Dan - Columbia, MD

"I was very happy with Santa (Ted). The children were thrilled with him also. He is the first person to capture their attention for that long of a period! I would definitely recommend him to a friend. Thanks, Santa for making our party a success!!!"

Toni N - Christmas Party, Bear, DE

"Dear Santa, I am the woman in the wheelchair that waved to you when I was walking through the mall in the afternoon. You walked over to me and gave me a big hug. I really needed that hug and cannot tell you how much it meant to me. Thank you so much for your kindness."

Nicole R - Columbia, MD

"Santa was great, very accommodating friendly. He showed up a little early and called to make sure he knew how we wanted him to enter the building. He did a wonderful job with the kids and was as jolly as Santa could be. We are planning on hiring him for the same event next year. "

Miranda L - Restaurant Event, Annapolis, MD

"Positives: Santa arrived on time. Looked fabulous. Great Personality. Was wonderful with the kids when pictures were taken. Overall: Very Pleased!!"

Judy K - Corporate Function, Frederick, MD

"I never had a real thank you such as your organization provided for the returning veterans. Please tell Santa – who also mentioned that he is a Viet Nam veteran – I appreciate the “Welcome Home Brother, it means a lot to me now….. Please continue to do the wonderful expression of what you all did as Operation Welcome Home (MD)……”

Robert G - CWO-4, US Army (Retired), Carlisle, PA   

The kids couldn’t have been more excited!

Once we started trying to communicate off the GigSalad app we had some issues. Emails weren’t coming through. So I was concerned that something had happened after I booked. We went back to communicating via the app and everything was fine. Santa showed up on time and the kids couldn’t have been more excited. All presents were handed out and pictures were taken with each family. It was the highlight of the night for me.
