Making Christmas special for families and businesses
By Like Media Team
For over 15 years, Jerry Nebel, known to many as "Santa Jerry," has been spreading holiday cheer as Santa Claus in the Pacific Northwest. His love for portraying the iconic Christmas figure started when he first donned the red suit and sat in the "big chair," immediately noticing the joy it brought to both children and adults, which was the moment that ignited his passion for this role.
Now focusing his efforts more locally in Gig Harbor, Santa Jerry has become a beloved figure in the community. "Christmas time brings a special magic to the area," he says. "The traditions that the community and families bring to the season are a joy to me." As holiday gatherings and events fill the calendar, Jerry's presence is requested for his unique ability to make celebrations feel extra magical.
Jerry has built his reputation not just by his authentic appearance but by the memorable experiences he creates. During a particularly touching moment, he smiles and shares, "I’m always filled with joy when I’m told 'you are the real Santa.'" For Santa Jerry, bringing the magic of Christmas to life is about creating those special, unforgettable moments for everyone he encounters.
With travel to Seattle becoming more challenging, Jerry now focuses on offering his services in the Gig Harbor area, where his appearances have become a seasonal highlight. Whether it's a family reunion, neighborhood party, corporate event, or Christmas celebrations at retirement or care facilities, Santa Jerry brings a magical touch that makes each gathering feel truly special and memorable during the holiday season.
Businesses and corporations often invite him to bring a little holiday magic to their employees and customers as well. "Everyone wants pictures with Santa," Jerry notes. "Young and old all have wishes for Christmas, and what is better than telling Santa directly? Who better to deliver presents, gifts, and awards? Santa has a bag full of magic to amaze young and old. Maybe a carol or two."
Given the high demand for his services, Jerry encourages people to book him as early as possible. With the holiday season being such a busy time, early booking helps reduce the stress that often comes with planning festive events.
In preparation for each event, Jerry makes sure to understand the needs of his hosts to deliver an authentic and memorable experience. Jerry ensures everything is perfectly tailored. "Moms are Santa’s # 1 customer when it comes to home visits," he notes. "I always check in before an event to make sure I know what her expectations are. I do the same for corporate/business visits. It is important to understand as much as possible about the organization and what they want to happen at their event, as well as helping them understand what they can do at their end before the event." Santa Jerry can also work with your photographer to capture wonderful photos of your animals, adding even more magic to the holiday experience.
As the holiday season approaches, Jerry encourages the community to continue the spirit of giving by supporting local charities. "Santa supports Backpacks 4 Kids and The Mustard Seed Project and encourages you to consider donating," he shares. "What I love about these nonprofits is they offer an opportunity for families to donate their time and talent as a family."
