That's right. Best believe there is an actual university where you can learn how to become Santa Claus.

It actually turns out that there is much more involved to being Santa Claus than just looking the part. It's impossible to be taken seriously as a professional Santa Claus actor without a natural beard and a big belly. However, people looking to hire a professional care much more about the size of the actor’s heart rather than how big he is.

The university trains Santas in everything from how to sit with a child on one’s lap to what to say if a child asks for something intangible for Christmas and how to handle the physicality of sitting in a chair and keeping up the illusion for eight to 12 hours a day.


Each actor goes through an intense background check and multi-interview process. It begins with a resume. On those resumes, they are not necessarily looking for previous Santa experience. Actors vary in professions, including schoolteachers, toy makers, children’s counsellors, people with special needs experience and more. At Santa University, they’re given brief lessons in American sign language and Spanish, but anyone able to speak multiple languages out of the box is a plus.

While putting on Santa’s coat isn’t necessarily about the money, Santa actors aren’t really allowed to work for free. As for salary, the resume matters a great deal.
