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.
Family & Home Experiences
The Signature Santa Home Experience
$250 per hour
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.
The Santa Drop-In Visit
$175 | 15–30 minutes
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.
Corporate & Community Events
Corporate & Community Santa Experience
$250 per hour
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.
Premium Holiday Dates
Christmas Eve Premium Visit
$550 | Up to 30 minutes
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.
Christmas Day Premium Visit
$650 | Up to 30 minutes
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.

Travel Considerations
Santa and You is proudly based in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Travel within our local service area is included as part of your experience investment. For events beyond that range, a simple mileage rate applies to ensure Santa arrives prepared, unhurried, and fully present.
All travel details are calculated in advance and clearly outlined.
Travel Rates
The first 30 miles (round trip) are included
Travel beyond 30 miles is billed at $2.00 per mile (round trip)
Mileage is calculated using Google Maps for accuracy
Example
An event at the Madison County Fairgrounds in London, Ohio is approximately 86 miles round trip from Reynoldsburg. With the first 30 miles included, the remaining 56 miles are billed at $2.00 per mile, resulting in a $112 travel charge.

All pricing—including travel considerations—is discussed in advance and confirmed before booking. This ensures clarity, eliminates surprises, and allows everyone involved to focus on what matters most: creating a meaningful holiday experience.
