Meet Santa Glenn
For over a decade, Santa Glenn has brought warmth, laughter, and holiday magic to families, schools, and businesses throughout the area. With a genuine beard, a real belly laugh, and a deep love for the season, he creates moments that families remember for years.
With over 40 years of experience working with children as a teacher, coach, and mentor in highly diverse environments, Santa Glenn's path began with family gatherings and grew into volunteering as Santa at children's hospitals and schools — eventually leading him to dedicate himself fully to honing his craft as a professional Santa. His journey has always been driven by the joy on children's faces during those magical moments, whether in conversation or a photo, and he treasures every moment spent sharing the wonder of the season with young ones.
Every visit is personal — from quiet living room story times to lively company holiday parties, Santa Glenn takes the time to make every guest, young or old, feel like the most important person in the room.
Based in Glendale, Santa Glenn is available for home visits, school events, community gatherings, and corporate parties, with travel options for nearby communities.
Friendly, real-bearded, and jolly, with many years of experience working with children and adult groups alike. A sound system is available, and Santa Glenn can lead songs as well as perform magic tricks, story time, and interactive activities such as games and crafts — he can fire up a crowd with cheers.
Backdrops, a Santa chair, and props from jingle bells to books are all part of the visit. Santa Glenn carries performer liability insurance and has passed a background check. He is a member of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas as well as Surfside Santas, and trained under a Santa Hall of Fame Awardee.

What to Expect
Santa Glenn usually tries to arrive about 15–30 minutes before a gig to meet with the event leader and plan the visit, including details of the grand entrance — though this isn't always possible if another gig runs right before. In most cases, he tries to leave a two-hour buffer between events; on busy weekends and Christmas Eve this isn't always practical, but he works hard to be on time for your event. For smaller events, a brief prior briefing on each child present is greatly appreciated. Different looks are available, so let him know the style of Santa attire that best fits the mood you're going for. He doesn't bring candy canes or other party favors, but is happy to distribute any the event host supplies.
Additional Booking Notes
A large Santa chair or throne helps make the experience even better. Santa Glenn has a portable chair available, though it needs to be assembled before his entrance. He has a voice that projects well and is comfortable working with amplified sound systems.
