The Santa Brad

05/21/2026

Every year around this time, the messages start rolling in:

“Are Santa Brad Home Visits coming back?”
“Did we already miss the announcement?”
“PLEASE tell me you’re still doing them this year…”

Well friends…

✨ The answer is YES. ✨

Santa Brad Home Visits WILL return for Christmas 2026.

But this year…things are going to feel a little different.

A little more intentional.
A little more personal.
A little more magical.

The older I get, the more I realize the moments families remember most aren’t always the biggest ones…

They’re the moments:
✨ gathered around the tree
✨ cookies on the counter
✨ excited little faces peeking out the window
✨ and the feeling that Christmas is finally HERE.

That’s the kind of magic I want to focus on this year. So instead of adding more…I’m focusing on making the experience even MORE special.

Now before anyone panic-texts an elf…

🚫 Booking is NOT open yet. 🚫

BUT…

In the coming weeks:

I’ll announce the official booking release date
Then shortly after…all the Home Visit details will finally be revealed

And if history repeats itself…these visits will move FAST.

Stay tuned…

Monday morning at the North Pole is a lot like Christmas Eve...
just with less tinsel and more confusion.

The elves are arguing.
The reindeer are judging.
Mrs. Claus is trying to keep this operation respectable.
And me?

I’m out here doing my best to keep the jingle in the bells and the chaos under control.

Happy Monday from Santa Brad. Let’s go stir up a little magic. 🎅

🚨 I need everyone to remain calm… 🚨

Santa’s calendar is…
basically…
almost…

FULL.

…in MARCH.

I don’t know what y’all are doing, but you’re doing it aggressively.

Every year I think,
“This might be the year things slow down a little…”

And every year you all say,
“Respectfully, no.”

To my photographers creating absolute magic…
To the businesses bringing Santa into your events year after year…

Thank you. Truly.
This only works because of you—and I don’t take that lightly.

Now here’s where we are…

We are down to the final sliver of availability:

• Possibly room for one more photographer (if you are flexible and can make a weekday work)
• Maybe 1–2 business events (weekday events are your best bet)

And before anyone panics about home visits—
Those (including Breakfast with Santa) will open in October. You’re not late. Deep breaths.

But for everything else…

If you’ve been meaning to reach out, this is your moment.

I’ll do everything I can to squeeze you in.

Because very soon we’ll be making the post…

“Santa Brad is officially fully booked.”

And that one is a lot less fun.

🎅🐴 I’ll go ahead and admit it…

I’ve been horsing around.

And based on the current state of the North Pole…
that may have been a mistake.

Toys? …behind schedule.
Elves? …confused.
Reindeer? …watching me like I’ve lost my mind.
And Mrs. Claus?
She didn’t say a word.
Just crossed her arms…
and gave me that look.
You know the one.

…BUT don’t you worry.
Santa always gets it done.

Christmas is safe.
The magic’s still on schedule.
Now if you’ll excuse me…
I’ve got some explaining to do. 🎅
