Meet Santa Kirby

Where Christmas magic becomes cherished memories.

Christmas is a magical time for creating memories that last a lifetime. For me, there’s no greater joy than sharing that magic through a special visit from Santa.

My journey began when I became a parent. Growing up, Christmas was always larger than life in my family—a season filled with joy, wonder, traditions, and togetherness. Years later, I portrayed St. Nicholas at a Belk event. That was when I realized this was something I was meant to do.

I love hearing children share their Christmas wishes, reading their letters, admiring their drawings, and sharing stories, hot cocoa, milk and cookies. Every visit creates new memories while bringing cherished ones back to parents and grandparents.

With over six years of experience as a professional real-bearded Santa, I’ve appeared at events for the University of South Carolina, Carolina Ascent FC, Fort Jackson and more. My custom-made suits, vests and shirts reflect the timeless elegance of St. Nicholas.

Fully insured and background-checked, I take pride in making every experience both magical and professional.

For me, being Santa is more than a role. It’s about kindness, generosity, wonder, and keeping the spirit of Christmas alive.

With warmest Christmas wishes,
Santa Kirby

The heart behind the Christmas magic

Meet Mrs. Claus

Every Santa needs a little Christmas magic of his own, and for Santa Kirby, that magic comes from Mrs. Claus.

Her journey began in 2025 when she joined her husband in sharing the spirit of the season. What started as a chance to share in Santa Kirby’s passion has become a special part of their Christmas tradition.

Together, they bring warmth, charm and timeless old-world wonder to family celebrations. With her Victorian-inspired attire and welcoming presence, Mrs. Claus adds an extra special touch to photographs and holiday festivities.

And while Santa Kirby may be the fellow with the famous beard, Mrs. Claus is certainly the better half of this Christmas duo!

What to Expect During Your Visit

More than a visit. A Christmas memory.

A Magical Arrival

Santa arrives a little early and coordinates with your designated helper so his entrance remains a surprise. When everyone is gathered, the Christmas magic begins.

A Personal Moment With Santa

Children can share Christmas wishes, read letters, show drawings, and ask questions about the North Pole. Shy little ones are welcome to participate at their own pace—no one is pressured to pose or speak.

Stories, Traditions & Christmas Cheer

Depending on your plans, Santa can share Christmas stories, talk about family traditions, and enjoy hot cocoa, milk and cookies with your guests.

Photographs to Treasure

Plan time for individual portraits, family photographs, and candid moments. A designated helper can make sure everyone who wants a photo gets a turn.

A Magical Farewell

When the visit draws to a close, Santa may gather everyone for a reading of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas before making a discreet departure back to the North Pole.

Preparing for Santa’s Visit

A little planning makes the magic even brighter.

Set the Scene

Choose a comfortable, sturdy chair near the tree or a festive backdrop, leave room for photos, and keep the room comfortably cool.

Keep the Surprise

Arrange discreet parking, gather guests before Santa arrives, and designate one adult to coordinate timing and help Santa remain in character.

Plan Gifts and Special Moments

Coordinate gifts or surprises ahead of time. Have children’s letters, wish lists, drawings, and any special traditions ready.

Capture the Memories

Keep cameras ready and let children approach at their own pace. Your helper can coordinate gifts, photos, and the schedule.

End With Wonder

If time allows, plan for a Christmas story and a magical goodbye so the experience ends as memorably as it began.

Kind words, treasured memories
