Santa will arrive ringing his bell, check his 'Naughty & Nice' list, show off his magical coin and pose for all the photos you need! I have a genuine long white beard and my own Santa suit.
Have been a Santa for 20 years plus. I was the Dublin Town Santa lighting up the lights on Grafton Street 2023. Was IKEA Santa for 1 year and have been asked back. Worked at many corporate events and photo shoots.
Santa trained SNA. Worked with acquired brain injury people as an activities coordinator.

" To whom it may concern, Maldron Hotel Oranmore Galway, Part of the Dalata Hotel Group have been using Jimmy ‘Santa’ for the past 3 seasons as part of our employee engagement plan. Jimmy has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. Our team at the hotel really enjoy his presence and this initiative has been an incredible hit with the team. As part of the initiative, we invite employee’s children in to experience the magic of Christmas that Jimmy brings. Jimmy’s presentation while in character is second to none. He is kind and welcoming and hosts a range of tricks to keep the crowd entertained. We use this opportunity to present employee awards and the whole experience is truly unforgettable. Here at the Maldron Hotel Oranmore Galway, Part of the Dalata Hotel Group we are privileged to be able welcome Jimmy year in year out to host our incredible fun filled day. I can not recommend him enough and should you wish to discuss further please do not hesitate to give me a call. "
"Please see some comments made by customers and co-workers whose children visited Santa in IKEA this year. He’s the best Santa ever. He looked like the real Santa. He was brilliant with the children and he didn’t rush the children at all. He was amazing with children with special needs, one child wouldn’t go into the grotto as he has autism, Santa told the father to take of Santa and if the father was still in store at the end of the shift, that Santa will stay late to see him. He could read children perfectly and was in tune with their emotions. He calmed nervous children and the parents were really delighted with their experience. A few parents were frustrated about the waiting time, but they understood once they had their visit. Santa stayed later than expected to ensure every child had the same experience, even at the end of his shift. Santa is very friendly and is in character once he gets into costume. On the route down to our grotto, Santa was interacting with the children and parents, on his way back from the grotto he even stopped for selfies with the children. We here in IKEA would definitely be delighted to have Santa (Jimmy) back again next year, as a team we feel that any other Santa wouldn’t compare. "
"Myself and my 4 (and a half - it's important!!) year old son attended the Santa breakfast morning over the weekend. It was brilliant. The staff were amazing and so friendly, Santa was by far one of the best Santa's we have visited. We never felt rushed or in the way, Santa spoke directly to my son, was kind & gentle and made him feel so special. I just wanted to say thank you so much. It was a beautiful morning. "
