_AuthentiClaus Certificate - WSCN (58).png

Certified by the WSCN

In 2024 I was honoured to be asked to speak at the annual Claus Cram from the Worldwide Santa Claus Network. Not only that but the FIRST and so far ONLY from Northern Ireland to do so.

​

I then decided to complete the core curriculum as part of the Santa School which I have now completed.

​

I have learned so much about how to improve my Santa portrayal and how to grow the business even further.

​

For anyone considering becoming a Santa portrayal artist I highly recommend completing this course.

Embodiment of Christmas Award 2023

​

In 2023 we stepped it up even more than previous years. A total of £5000 was donated and used for charitable causes including a £2000 donation to the Northern Ireland Childrens Hospice.

Newtownabbey Food Bank, Newtownabbey Community Toy Drive and Clare's Creature Comforts all availed from our support.

​

Santa also selected 13 families to give a special Christmas memory to in person including gifts ranging from signed memorabilia from Ronaldo & Mo Salah to adopting a Giraffe on behalf of a family.

​

Thank you everyone for the support and this award means the world to us.

Embodiment of Christmas Award
Spirit of Christmas Award 2022

Spirit of Christmas Award 2022

2022 was an amazing year for our Santa as we were awarded the Newtownabbey and Antrim Borough Councils Spirit of Christmas Award for Spreading Christmas Cheer to those in need throughout the festive season.

​

This meant a lot to our Santa as even when he has had things to deal with in his personal life, he always put the red hat on and became the spirit of Christmas to bring a magical experience for all wanting to see him. The day of the award was made even more special as I was able to share it with my son and daughter. 

​

Like every year on top of the home visits we are booked for, Santa raises money to try help out families in need, had a rough year, suffered a traumatic experience etc. In 2022 we raised £1200 and spent £500 on a shopping trip that was donated to the Newtownabbey Food Bank.

​

The remaining £700 was spent on treats and gifts for 7 families with young children that had a difficult year. From suffering the lose of parents, battling cancer or finding themselves in a homeless situation.

Movie House Cinemas

​

From 2022 The Legendary Santa was featured across Northern Ireland on the Movie house Cinemas Billboards, their cinemas kiosk screens, social media campaigns to promote festive promotions and even in 2024 a pre movie featurette.

​

This brought great joy to not only myself but to all who witnessed this.

​

Check out the pre movie featurette below.

Antrim & Newtownabbey Tree Lighting Events

From 2023 The Legendary Santa has taken great pride in being the Official Christmas Tree Lighter for the Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council Tree Lighting events.

​

Santa has the great pleasure of being involved in Randalstown, Crumlin, Antrim, Glengormley, Mossley, Monkstown, Hazelbank and Ballyclares Christmas Tree Lighting events.

​

From meeting families for photos and a gift on the Santa bus, to filming features to be shown on the big screen and in 2024 Santa upped the ante and was on stage DANCING alongside his Reindeer Ravers.

​

Santa continues to enjoy a wonderful working relationship with the Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council for these events from start to finish.

​

Below you can even see the feature from the 2024 tree lighting events throughout the borough.

Cool FM & Downtown Radio

​

Not only The Legendary Santa but Jingles the head Elf both had the great pleasure and honour of being part of the Cash for Kids NI fund raising efforts, which was included in Santa's Season of Goodwill charitable events in 2024.

​

Both Santa & Jingles visited the Royal Hospital for Children and helped bring smiles and joy to all in the hospital from staff, to families and even Pete, Paolo and Rebecca.

​

This really was a memorable event and hope we can make a difference again for years to come.
