Santa Ed and Mrs. Jo Claus are the real deal!

From the moment they walked in, the magic of Christmas came alive. Santa Ed is warm, professional, and incredibly authentic — the suit, the voice, the sparkle in his eye… it’s like he stepped right out of a storybook. Mrs. Jo Claus is just as lovely — thoughtful, engaging, and always in tune with the children and families.

They go above and beyond to create a truly memorable experience. You can tell they care deeply about what they do — it’s not just a performance, it’s a passion. Highly recommend them for any event that could use some Christmas magic!

Great Northern Mall’s Santa making impact on lives of kids with special needs

wkyc3, Lindsay Buckingham report on Santa Ed

“It makes me happy that I can make these kids happy.”

With sensory-friendly environments, dimmed lights, gentle voices, and compassionate pacing, Santas like the one at Great Northern take time to connect with every child, especially those with autism or developmental challenges.

Thanks to Morgan’s Wonderland training, which prepares holiday performers to recognize sensory needs and adapt interactions accordingly, Santas are learning how to support families in the most meaningful ways. From children who are nonverbal to those who need extra time to warm up, these Santas bring patience, empathy, and understanding to every visit.
