Welcome to the Santa James Experience – Bringing Christmas Magic to Northern New York

Ho, ho, ho! Welcome to the Santa James Experience, the official home of Santa James, a real bearded, school trained Santa Claus portrayal

artist and professional Christmas performer. From Watertown to Syracuse, Potsdam, and across Northern New York and the Adirondack region, Santa James brings the true magic of Christmas to life for families, businesses, and communities.

Who Is Santa James?

Santa James is not your average mall Santa. He’s a professionally trained Santa Claus, having studied at the Northern Lights Santa Academy, the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School, and the Worldwide Santa Claus Network. These prestigious programs prepare Santas in storytelling, performance, and the traditions of Saint Nicholas himself.

With a naturally snow white real beard, a hearty laugh, and custom made suits (from the iconic Coca-Cola Santa look to a regal parade coat and even a Hawaiian summer Santa outfit), Santa James offers the most authentic and extraordinary Claus experience.

He’s also trained in American Sign Language (ASL), experienced in working with special needs children and adults, and even comfortable posing with pets, because Christmas joy belongs to everyone.
