Planning to visit Disney or other Orlando-area attractions with kiddies during the holiday season? Are they worried Santa won’t know where they are? Santa On the Way can surprise the kids and assure them he knows where to stop on the Big Night.

When Santa Visits
During the 2024 Holiday Season, Santa cheered up residents of area nursing homes; paid a surprise visit to a child’s home and greeted hundreds of children at the Space Coast Holiday Food Fest and Craft Fair.
When you hire Santa, he’ll arrive at the appointed time and greet everyone. Santa has a few icebreakers up his red velvet sleeve—little stunts he uses as icebreakers. Santa is a captivating read-aloud storyteller. He might share an anecdote about one of the reindeer or life at the North Pole.
- Santa will do his best to answer questions.
- “Has everyone thought about what they want to ask Santa for?”
- Collect letters for the North Pole.
Santa will play Christmas tunes on his Boom Box; each child visits with Santa (pictures encouraged; meanwhile, other children color a handout picture that includes santaontheway.com info to keep).
Give each child one of the following during the visit: a candy cane, a holiday pencil, or a sticker.
Who is Santa?
Santa is a most beloved holiday figure, one who exists in different countries and cultures, with a variety of traditional names. Through personal public appearances, books, poems, movies and more, Santa Claus is a significant icon of our popular culture.
Santa Claus, Father Christmas, St. Nicholas, St. Nick, Kris Kringle, Kinder Claus or known simply as Santa, this popular figure has a long history steeped in Christmas traditions. Today, he is thought of mainly as the jolly man in red who brings toys to good girls and boys on Christmas Eve, but his story stretches back to the 3rd century, when St. Nicholas walked the earth and became the patron saint of children.
In the United States, Santa Claus is often depicted as flying from his North Pole home to on Christmas Eve to deliver toys to children. He flies on his magic sleigh led by his reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and the most famous reindeer of all, Rudolph.
Santa magically enters each home, near the empty Christmas stockings “hung by the Chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there,” as Clement Clarke Moore wrote in his famous poem.
Santa Claus and his wife, Mrs. Claus, call the North Pole home. Children write letters to Santa and track Santa’s progress around the world on Christmas Eve. Children often leave cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for his reindeer on Christmas Eve.
Before Christmas Eve arrives, Santa will make a special appearance for an hour or two at your event or home holiday party. It’s a great opportunity to skip the long lines to see the Big Man in the Red Suit, to rent a private Santa Claus for an event, and take your own pictures with Santa. Based in Brevard County, FL, Santa is also available to make visits in the Orlando area.

Naughty and Nice
Santa Claus keeps a “naughty list” and a “nice list” to determine who deserves gifts on Christmas morning. The lists are immortalized in the 1934 Christmas song “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”:
“He’s making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!”
