How do you become a Santa?

There are several steps to becoming a professional Santa. Most malls or event centers hire their professional Santa from an event agency or photo company, so these are the best places to look for jobs. Although professional Santas are busy during the holiday season, they often spend months preparing for the role. There is a Professional Santa Claus School in Denver that prepares aspiring Santas for the Christmas season. Qualifications include a desire to work with children and an accurate Santa Claus “look.” You need a big heart and an aptitude for working with children.
