About Santa Jay
Christmas joy, professional presence, and a heart for every child.
Santa Jay brings more than a red suit. He brings years of performance experience, music, storytelling, warmth, and a genuine love for helping families create unforgettable memories.
How Santa Jay got started
Jay’s journey as Santa began after his younger brother started working as Santa and encouraged him to try it too. Jay already had the beard, the warmth, and the personality — and once he stepped into the role, the joy of it stayed with him.
He later connected with professional Santa opportunities and spent multiple seasons appearing for families and children, including busy retail and destination settings where Santa has to be patient, present, and ready for anything a child might ask.
Today, Santa Jay and Mrs. Claus serve families and event planners around Franklin, NC and the surrounding Western North Carolina area.
Mrs. Claus is part of the magic
Mrs. Claus brings a gentle, reassuring presence to visits and events. For children who are shy, nervous, or unsure about getting close to Santa, Mrs. Claus often helps them feel safe enough to enjoy the moment.
