Now that Halloween has wrapped up, many are shifting their focus toward the holiday season. Whether you’re hosting a festive gathering, planning a corporate event, or arranging a magical home visit, requests for Santa Claus are pouring in across the country—and here at Father Christmas of the Three Mountains, it’s no different!

Most requests start coming in for December dates, but November is filling up fast too. This early season is especially busy for Santa and Mrs. Claus portrayal artists partnering with photographers to capture magical family memories. These sessions happen early to give families time to transform their photos into Christmas cards, ready to be sent out after Thanksgiving. These photo ops allow Santa to kick off his season a few weeks early and spread holiday cheer even before the December rush!

Local holiday bazaars, markets, and craft fairs are also starting to host Santa for festive photo opportunities, spreading joy among attendees and giving families another chance to connect with the magic of Christmas. As we get closer to Thanksgiving, community events like tree lighting ceremonies and parades will start popping up across the area, giving everyone a chance to see Santa in action.

If you’re planning a holiday event, remember that the earlier in the season your date is, the better chance you have to book your ideal Santa and Mrs. Claus! As December gets closer, Santa’s calendar fills up quickly, and prime times can be hard to secure. First-time event coordinators are often surprised to learn just how in demand Santa can be—there just aren’t enough Santas to go around during peak hours!

So, whether you’re organizing a family gathering, a corporate party, or a community event, securing your Santa early ensures you’ll have the jolly old elf—and perhaps Mrs. Claus too—at your holiday celebration.
