Now Accepting Bookings for the 2026 Holiday Season, Reserve Central Ohio’s Premier Santa Experience Today.
Every Santa and You experience is built with intention, preparation, and care. Your investment reflects more than time on the calendar—it supports a level of professionalism, presence, and attention that allows each visit to feel calm, meaningful, and unhurried.
We do not offer discounts, promotions, or “quick appearances.” Instead, we focus on consistency, reliability, and delivering a Santa experience that families, organizations, and communities trust year after year.
Our premier in-home offering, designed to unfold naturally and without rush. This experience allows Santa Ben the time and space to engage thoughtfully with children and families—through conversation, storytelling, photos, and moments that feel personal and genuine.
Best suited for gatherings of up to approximately twelve children, this experience is ideal for families who value depth, presence, and a truly memorable visit.
A brief, focused Santa appearance designed for families seeking a quick holiday moment and a few photos. This option includes a warm greeting and short interaction, but does not include extended storytelling or programming.
This visit is best for first-time clients or events where time is limited. For families who have previously experienced the Signature Santa Home Experience, we recommend booking that format again to preserve consistency and expectation.
Designed for businesses, organizations, and public gatherings, this experience is flexible and thoughtfully tailored to your event’s size, flow, and audience.
Santa Ben regularly supports:
Corporate holiday parties
Community celebrations and festivals
Tree lightings and ceremonial moments
Schools, churches, and nonprofit events
Each engagement is planned in advance to ensure Santa’s role complements your event—not competes with it.
Christmas Eve is the most meaningful and limited night of Santa’s calendar. These visits are intentionally few and carefully paced to preserve the magic and ensure each family receives Santa’s full attention.
For families wishing to extend the magic into Christmas Day, this visit offers a quiet, reflective Santa appearance—sharing conversation, admiring gifts, and capturing a few final holiday memories.
Available prior to Thanksgiving, these sessions are designed for professional photographers seeking a reliable, prepared Santa for studio or outdoor work. Multi-hour bookings allow for consistency, pacing, and creative flexibility.
When you book three or more hours, you also receive:
A complimentary pre-season marketing photo session (up to one hour)
Opportunity to schedule a promotional or marketing shoot
Inclusion and promotional support through Columbus Santa Photos
During peak season, demand increases significantly. These sessions are reserved for photographers who value professionalism, collaboration, and a Santa who understands lighting, direction, and guest interaction.
For select experiences requiring uninterrupted, continuous coverage, Santa and You offers preferred extended-coverage options designed to support smoother pacing and consistent presence throughout your session.
Day rates apply to continuous, single-location bookings and are offered selectively based on availability during peak season.
