About Us

How it all started was even a surprise to me. Our daughter needed a Santa for the School our granddaughter was attending. I didn't have a beard or the belly but she insisted and supplied me with a borrowed suit and beard. After attending the preschool and touring all of the other classes on campus I was escorted to the courtyard where every class had assembled and they began to sing Christmas Carols to us. Our hearts melted and we were forever hooked.
I began growing out my beard and since have assembled a few looks to add to my Santa persona. 
Mrs. Jingle Claus then began sewing my full leather jacket, her own dresses and a few of my vests. This began in 2015 and our adventures of performing have continued to grow. We kept it simple the first few years. Appearing on the streets of Downtown Long Beach, Palm Springs and Palm Desert. We hosted a few parties and Country club events.
In 2019 we started off the Season with the Annual Tree Lighting with the Mayor and Mary Hart as Grand Marshall in Palm Springs. We were chosen and had the honor of sitting on the Sleigh in the Palm Springs Parade of Lights which is televised on NBC Palm Springs. The route is lined with 100,000 people annually. We were invited to the Hot Coco and Breakfast with Santa to the Meet and Greet Santa at the Palm Springs Thursday Night Village Festival. 
Our Corporate Events include Play Station, John Deer, Retirement Communities and Country Clubs.  Photographers started hiring us for pre season family photo sessions. From San Diego to San Louis Obispo and beyond.
 In 2020 with Covid19 being rampant we had to find a way to bring joy to the children and the magic of Christmas with the message "Christmas Must Endure" to comply with Social Distancing. We built a Snow Globe. With a round base and 5 foot diameter plexiglass circle we could now visit with Children, Families and take photo's. (photo below). 
And we took part in the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. Follow this link to You Tube to watch the magic that took place.
We have been featured in PALM SPRINGS LIFE MAGAZINE for 2020 December Issue, Santa Saves Christmas. Highlighting our Snow Globe and drive to bring Christmas to Children around the world at a time it was needed so desperately. 
El Paseo at the Gardens is an Event we cherish and as it is a great benefit for the Boys and Girls Clubs. There is also a special event for Pets. We have also been asked to attended an event held for Big Brothers and Sisters which we will joyfully attend every year.
This year we are booking up fast on our Virtual Visits from all over the world. It was hard to fathom at last count in December of 2020, the demand was so high we have plans to open our schedule as early as November 1st to accommodate all the families that would like a visit. To date I have had thousands of virtual visits over the years, but not like last year where I surpassed 900 World Wide virtual visits in December alone.
I am a member of IBRBS International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santa's and The World Wide Santa Claus Conservatory. 
Both of us are talent clients of Coast to Coast Talent Group and Mrs. Jingle Claus has appeared in commercials (not as Mrs. Claus).
We look forward to talking with you and discussing your needs and thank you for taking the time to read about Us.
Truly,
Santa Chet and Mrs. Jingle Claus
