A proud Husband, Father, and Grandfather
Special Education Teacher - Substitute Teacher
Santa/Christmas "Portrayer" for more than 20 years - in Iowa, Wisconsin, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Washington state

I have been a Special Needs Educator for 10 years, a Santa for 20, and a father and grandfather since 2002 (actually, only since 2022 as a grandpa ).

After 10 years of being Santa in malls in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Washington, and right here in Appleton, Wisconsin - I have gone back to doing family gatherings, corporate parties, public events, and the ability to do charity events.

This allows me to spend quality time with each and every child and not have to rush as I have for the last 10 years.

THAT is why I became Santa - to give each and every child (no matter the age) a special, memorable, and magical Christmas moment.

"Absolute, hands down, BEST SANTA EVER!"

Yolanda Martinez - Waterbury, CT

"If you want genuine, caring, attentive, easy going, friendly and outgoing, you definitely want Santa Lloyd!! I had the pleasure of working with Santa Lloyd this season (2019) and it was the most pleasant experience ever!! Not only were the children and parents enthralled with him but passersby who would just stand around and listen to his exchange with the children. Each child was an individual whom he treated as the only child in the room, whether they were taking pictures or just visiting. To top it all off, the kindness in which he showed special needs children, especially a couple who couldn't afford the photos and were gifted a special memory, has endeared him to many."

Cadence Stebane, Appleton, WI

“I have had the privilege of working with Santa Lloyd for three years and I couldn’t have asked for a better Santa. You can truly tell he loves what he is doing. Not only does he talk to each kid and make them feel special, heard, and loved, but he spends time researching what each generation of kids like such as shows, movies and toys. He also has the most amazing Santa facts and even I love to ask about the lore and stories he has to share. Every day I was amazed with his individualized interaction with each child and adult. He is a true professional in his ability to understand what each kid wishes for in their visit, as well as making the best out of potentially difficult situations. He oozes joy and excitement for all ages and makes everyone feel truly special. On top of that he is extremely kind, warm, thoughtful and sincere. All of the little things Santa Lloyd does to be completely magical and whimsical are what make him the best.”

Trista Coon, Menasha, WI

"Lloyd was truly the sweetest Santa! He was so caring, kind, and patient with every child he interacted with. You could tell how much he genuinely cared about making each child feel special and comfortable. I also had some of the sweetest conversations with him, and he was such a warm and genuine person. He brought so much joy and Christmas spirit to everyone around him! ❤️🎅🏼"

Jem Saverda, Neenah, WI
"I've had the pleasure of working with Santa Lloyd for many years, and he consistently brings joy and magic to every family he meets. Santa takes the time to connect with each child and adult, making everyone feel special and valued. His gentle nature, warm smile, and genuine kindness create unforgettable experiences and lasting memories. He never rushes an interaction and always goes the extra mile to make each visit feel magical. Watching families light up around him is a reminder of what Christmas is truly about. Santa's warmth, patience, and authentic love for what he does shine through in every moment. Any family would be lucky to spend time with him during the holiday season."

There is Santa Claus, checking his list of Nice Children and naming your child, out loud for them to hear, before pulling their presents out of his bag and putting them under the tree. Santa even helps himself to the milk and cookies! You hurry your children back to bed, knowing that this will be their most special Christmas ever!
