There’s something unforgettable about meeting a Real Beard Santa — the twinkle in the eye, the warm laugh, and that unmistakable authenticity. For families and businesses across Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, Texas Santa has become part of the state’s holiday tradition. Whether you’re planning a cozy home visit or a large corporate party, here’s everything you need to know about booking Santa for your next event.
Why Choose a Real Beard Santa?
In a world of mall Santas and temporary costumes, a Real Beard Santa stands apart. The beard isn’t glued on — it’s grown with pride. The suit isn’t rented — it’s tailored with care. Each Texas Santa appearance feels like a story coming to life, filled with genuine warmth and humor that kids (and adults) never forget.
When you hire a Real Beard Santa, you’re not just getting photos; you’re getting an experience. The laughter, the storytelling, and the natural interaction all create a sense of Christmas magic that feels genuine. Meet the Santas who make it happen — each one brings a unique energy, but they all share the same commitment to joy and authenticity.
Where Texas Santa Performs
One of the best things about working with Texas Santa is his reach. He and Mrs. Claus travel across the Lone Star State — from the bright lights of Dallas-Fort Worth to the southern charm of San Antonio. Here’s a quick look at where you can find them spreading cheer:
- Dallas–Fort Worth: Perfect for corporate holiday parties, neighborhood gatherings, and home visits in areas like Frisco, Plano, and Grapevine.
- Houston: Santa makes regular stops for family events, downtown galas, and photo sessions in The Woodlands, Sugar Land, and Katy.
- Austin: Known for its creativity, Austin loves Santa for parades, markets, and photography sessions in Round Rock and Cedar Park.
- San Antonio: Deep in tradition, this area embraces Santa for school visits, church events, and community celebrations.
Each region has its own dedicated service area page where you can explore event ideas and booking availability near you.

Santa does more than just wave from a sleigh. His calendar fills with all kinds of appearances — each one tailored to the people he meets. If you’re not sure what kind of event to plan, start with these ideas from the Santa Events & Appearances page:
- Home Visits: A magical surprise for children and families — complete with gift deliveries, story time, and photo ops by the tree.

Each event is fully customizable — from the costume style to the arrival method (sometimes in his famous Cyber Sleigh, a red Tesla Cybertruck wrapped for Christmas).
How to Book Santa (and When)
Santa’s schedule fills quickly — especially in November and December — so the earlier you reach out, the better. Many families and companies book as early as September to guarantee their preferred time slot. To get started:
- Visit the Rates & Packages page to learn about hourly pricing and options for events with Mrs. Claus.
- Decide on your location and event type (home visit, corporate party, photo session, etc.).
- Submit your details using the Book Santa form — include your city, event date, and any special requests.
- Santa’s team will confirm availability and help finalize your booking.
If you’re hosting a large-scale or multi-day event, like a Christmas market or downtown parade, contact Santa’s team early to ensure scheduling and insurance documentation are handled in advance.
Behind the Suit: Santa & Mrs. Claus
Every Texas Santa brings their own story, but all share a common purpose — to make people feel seen and joyful. Some Santas come from acting or ministry backgrounds, others from education or the arts. Many are lifelong Texans who dedicate their winters to spreading kindness and laughter.
Santa & Mrs. Claus work together for many events. Their chemistry brings a special warmth that turns even short appearances into lifelong memories. They’ve appeared at community events, high-end parties, and countless living rooms — always leaving smiles (and sometimes cookie crumbs) behind.
Tips for a Perfect Santa Visit
To get the most from your Santa visit, a little planning goes a long way. Here are a few tips from the pros:
- Set the stage: Have a comfortable chair or festive backdrop ready for Santa’s arrival.
- Plan the surprise: Younger kids love the magic of a surprise entrance — older ones enjoy “helping” set up for Santa’s visit.
- Gather your questions: Santa can answer everything from “How do reindeer fly?” to “What’s your favorite cookie?”
- Keep the camera ready: You’ll want photos and video from every angle — this is a moment that doesn’t repeat itself.
What Makes Texas Santa Different?
It’s not just the beard or the suit — it’s the connection. Texas Santa is insured, professional, and background-checked, but more importantly, he’s kind. Every visit is built around warmth, humor, and a genuine love of people. The experience is personal, joyful, and authentically Texan.
Each appearance also supports local communities. Santa participates in charity drives, Toys for Tots events, and nursing home visits, reminding everyone that Christmas is as much about giving as it is about gathering.
