About Our Rates

According to GigSalad, the regional pricing for Santa Clauses including Lafayette, IN as of October 2, 2026 is as follows and would represent a standard visit:

• $100 (low price - 1 hour)

• $200 (average price - 1 hour)

• $340 (high price - 1 hour).

So what's the difference between low, average, and high?

We consider "low" to be someone buying a cheap Santa Claus costume off the rack with no formal training, education, insurance, or background checks. He meets with each child, asks what he or she wants for Christmas, and that's pretty much it.

At the furthest end of the range, we consider "high" to be an educated, experienced Santa Claus who is fully insured and background checked, maintains a professional appearance and demeanor true to the traditional expectations of Santa Claus, possesses a high-quality wardrobe, and incorporates a variety of props and storytelling in his visits. Every conversation with every child -- or child at heart! -- is a moment he treasures. His ultimate goal is to deliver a magical and memorable experience that exceeds all expectations.

I consider myself to be that high-end Santa, but it's important to me that I provide that level of service at a non-high end price to be as affordable to as many people as possible. Now consider that you're also getting an equally high-end Mrs. Claus for the same price, and honestly, we offer an incredible value! You're getting a high-end Santa AND Mrs. Claus for less than the average hourly price for a Santa Claus in our region. This is because what we do is genuinely driven from our hearts, our love of Christmas, and a desire to bring the joy, love, and magic of Christmas to children of all ages!
