North Pole Santa School

Why attend the North Pole Santa School?

It takes more than a white beard and a red suit to convince children today that this guy isn’t just a guy with a beard in a suit.

Let’s face it – Christmas character portrayal artists are actors. It does take knowledge, practice, and skill to walk the walk, have a great laugh, keep the twinkle in your eyes and know what to say and what not to say!

How do we develop our character?
What do we say when challenged?
How can we support a child who needs a kind word?

Most importantly, how can we spread holiday cheer with the style and grace befitting the best-known character around?

The best Christmas Performers in the world are always learning from their peers.
