Booking Santa Claus for Your Event
A Celebration of Kindness and Generosity
We celebrate the true spirit of the holiday season. When you invite Santa Claus to your event, you're not just inviting a legendary figure in a red suit; you're welcoming the embodiment of kindness, generosity, and the enduring values inspired by the original St. Nicholas.
Santa Claus at Santa-Q.com doesn't ask children if they've been naughty or nice; he asks if they've been kind and nice. This change in the way we approach the holiday season reflects the heartwarming story of St. Nicholas of Myra and the traditions we hold dear.
The “Be Nice, Stay Kind, Share Generously” Challenge
(c) Quintin Koger Kidd
We're proud to share our unique Christmas Challenge Coin. Just as the original St. Nicholas inspired the world with acts of generosity, our Santa Claus carries that tradition forward. When you book Santa through Santa-Q.com, you're not just getting a visit from Santa; you're getting a visit from the embodiment of the values of St. Nicholas and Santa Claus.
Every Santa visit through Santa-Q.com includes the heartwarming Christmas Challenge Coins. These coins, inspired by the legacy of St. Nicholas, encourage kindness, sharing, and a sense of goodwill. They are a tangible reminder that these values extend far beyond the holiday season.
For a deeper understanding of the story of St. Nicholas and how Santa's challenge coins encourage children to be kind, stay nice, and share generously, we invite you to explore ChristmasMedallion.com/home

Ryan Family: Our kids were looking forward to seeing Santa and he did not disappoint. He was patient with our kids and made them feel special!
Warren Family: Santa was authentic, thoughtful, joyful, expressive, kind, and made our trip ever better!
Jessica O: Santa was great! We had a breakfast with Santa for our associates and he was so kind to everyone and took the time to speak to each individual child on their level. He really engaged with them. He also mingled around the room and visited everyone's tables and chatted and he also walked around our lobby and visited with guests. Everyone that went has commended about how personable and friendly he was with everyone, especially with the kids. We look forward to having him at our event next year
Amanda C: Great experience with Santa Q! Santa Q definitely delivered at our Daycare! He spent extra time in each room and made sure each child had an awesome experience! We were SO happy with him and can't wait to book him again

Looking for a unique and exciting gift idea for the upcoming holiday season? Look no further than our Santa Pilot Licenses! Our licenses are perfect for anyone who loves Christmas and wants to add a little extra magic to their holiday celebrations.
If you're a Santa, our licenses are a must-have all sleigh team pilots. The license certifies that you are properly qualified to pilot the sleigh with up to nine reindeer on Christmas Eve.
For parents looking to surprise their children on Christmas morning, our Santa Pilot Licenses are the perfect addition to any stocking or under-the-tree surprise. Imagine the look of excitement on your child's face as they discover Santa “accidentally” left his North Pole Pilot License at their home.
To add to the magic, the address on the pilot license is the actual address of the USPS Operation Santa Claus. The date of birth is the date the original Saint Nicholas was born. And the issue date, is the date the FAA actually issued Santa a pilot license.

Why I'm Santa is wrapped up in this comment from the mother of a special needs child.
"I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful visit. ******* gets so smiley and happy when we talk about Santa. She’s been very talkative since your visit, trying to communicate a lot, so I know she thoroughly enjoyed it. You truly brought Christmas magic to our house. We are grateful! Merry Christmas to you and Mrs Claus!
Truly, "it is a blessing being a blessing." Being Santa brings joy to my heart!
