Meet Santa Chris

Santa Chris is more than just a holiday figure; he is a beacon of joy, inclusivity, and representation. Known affectionately as Black Santa Arkansas, he brings a unique vibrancy to the season that resonates with families across the state. He is the only New England Santa School certified in Arkansas.

As Santa Chris, he embodies the traditional spirit of Santa Claus while also offering a reflection of the diverse world we live in today. His role as a Black Santa is not just about wearing the red suit and delivering gifts; it's about providing a figure that children of color can look up to and see themselves in. The importance of representation cannot be overstated—when children see a Santa that looks like them, it fosters a sense of belonging and self-worth that goes well beyond the holiday season.

Through his work, Santa Chris aims to inspire a more inclusive vision of Santa Claus, ensuring that every child can enjoy the magic of Christmas with a Santa who celebrates and honors their identity. He believes that every Santa visit should be a mirror of joy and recognition, reinforcing that the warmth and love of the holiday season are truly universal.
