Santa Michael’s experience

Michael has spent 4 years as Santa, and for 3 of them, he and Mrs. Claus appeared as Mr. and Mrs. Santa for BlueCross BlueShield at their annual employee Christmas event.

From a quiet living room on Christmas Eve to a full company celebration, he brings the same warmth and patience to every visit, and the same care to every family.

How to request a visit

Three simple steps to a visit from Santa

  1. Share your event details

    Send your date, town or ZIP, event type, and anything Santa should know. A phone call works just as well.

  2. Confirm with Santa Michael

    Santa Michael reaches out to confirm availability, travel, timing, and arrangements for your celebration.

  3. Finalize the appearance

    Once you both agree on the details, your visit is set and the only thing left is the magic.

Good to know: submitting an inquiry does not reserve a date. Your appearance is confirmed once you and Santa Michael finalize the details. December dates are popular, so reaching out early gives you the most options.
