Some Tips for a successful Santa Visit:
Before the party, give Santa some information that only you, the child, and Santa would know about. The child's age, favorite toy they would like or a recently happening.
When you are having a larger party with a lot of children one of Santa's helper Elves is recommended, to help with the traffic and presentation or one of the adults at the party can be Santa's Helper for the night. Contact us for information.
Make sure Santa has a contact phone number and a backup number for the party just in case of emergencies.
Make sure Santa has good directions to the party location and availability to parking areas near by. Santa likes to walk in from a location that is out of the view of the party area a street a block or two away.
If your event is at a company facility, office building or hotel, try to make arrangements for Santa to park close to where the party is. This makes it easier for Santa to arrive & depart.
Have everyone together, before Santa enters. The entrance is very magical, and we wouldn't want anyone to miss out.
If you would like Santa to bring presents for the children from you, please contact us in advance to make arrangements.
Pick a good time for Santa to visit. Certain times are not the best for a vist from the Jolly old Elf. Some times that are not the best; nap time. Meal and snack time also may not be the best for a photo.
Sometimes children are shy and often forget to ask Santa for something. A fun activity is to make a letter to Santa listing some of the items they would like.
Santa Kringle also has a printable Santa letter for the children to enjoy. contact us and we'll Email it to you.
A sturdy chair high back chair without arms is best for Santa to sit in. No lawn chairs please. Chair should be sturdy as Santa is not a little Elf.
If there is a balance or payment due to Santa please place it inside a Christmas card or envelope. It takes away from the magic of the night when someone is seen paying Santa money. So as Santa is departing, hand him the envelope and say, "This is for you and Mrs.Claus, and here is a Christmas card from all of us."
As Santa departs, please distract the children. Having them look away from him as he departs. This gives Santa time to leave the building and parking area with out the Children seeing him.
