About this act
Santa Troy has been doing this for over ten years, and he plays it straight: no winking at the parents, just a Santa the kids believe in. Real Santa Downunder covers Melbourne and regional Victoria, roaming and interactive rather than parked on a throne, though a chair works fine for photo sessions. Meet and greets, storytelling, gift giving, Christmas singalongs, honourary elf certificates, and Paws for Claus for the family dog. He turns up at private home visits, school and kindergarten visits, work Christmas parties, sporting club functions, shopping centres, council events and Christmas parades. Every appearance gets shaped around the age group in front of him. He works alongside photographers, MCs, event staff and venue coordinators, and he holds a Working with Children Check.
