Santa Bob

(man in the big red suit) has worked as a professional, real-beard Santa Claus for over 14 years. He has delighted thousands of New England families who have visited him at The Liberty Tree Mall (Danvers, MA) The Square One Mall (Saugus, MA) & The Burlington Mall (Burlington, MA). Santa Bob's favorite is the “Caring Santa” event, a program started by Autism Speaks, where malls across the country close down for a few hours on a Sunday to give kids who don't like the chaos time alone with Santa. He made magic with the Ronald McDonald House New York for their Christmas In July event celebrating children who survived the NICU and also made virtual appearances where families living at the Ronald McDonald House heard a bedtime story and talked to Santa one-on-one. Additionally, Santa Bob has years of experience in private events, from Christmas brunches (Merrimack Golf Course), house parties, and family Christmas photo shoots.
