Meet Santa John
The true, legendary Santa Claus
Santa John has been putting on the red suit since 2006. He is a graduate of a professional Santa school, a member of the Lone Star Santas and the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas — and yes, the beard is real.
For over a decade he served as a mall Santa across the continental United States and Puerto Rico, along the way appearing in television commercials, music videos, and parades, and making visits to boys and girls clubs, hospitals, and communities recovering from disaster — including representing the Lone Star Santas in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
If you want to introduce your children and friends to the true, legendary Santa Claus — instead of a grumpy red-suited man with a fake beard you stood in line for hours to see — Santa John is for you.
The magic of the season should bring joy and laughter to children of all ages. With a sparkle and a twinkle of Christmas magic, Santa John shares the Christmas spirit all year long — and for families whose first language is Spanish, this is your chance to give your children a Santa they can truly talk to.
