"He was the loveliest Father Christmas I have ever met. His costume was sublime, but it was his gentle manner, patience, and sweetness with my four little girls that captured my heart. They all walked away, whispering to me that they were convinced he was absolutely 'the real one.' Honestly, if they never meet another Santa Claus again, he imparted the magic of Father Christmas to them for life." - Maria Harris.

Santa can only visit a limited number of homes and events each Christmas season. Early bookings are recommended.

Welcome

I’m Ballarat Santa. I’ve been a professional Santa performer since 2018. People often say I am the most realistic-looking Santa they have ever seen.

Yes, I have a real beard — one that delights even the most sceptical and looks fantastic for photography bookings. But I’m more than just a beard and a costume.

I bring The Santa Experience.

🎄 A Christmas Story by Ballarat Santa

Santa and the Star That Wouldn’t Shine

A gentle, beautifully illustrated Christmas story about kindness, hope, and the magic of being seen.

When a tiny star loses its shine on Christmas Eve, Santa sets out on a magical journey to help it believe in itself again — reminding us that even the smallest light can make a difference.
