Brian J. Cook

Brian J. Cook is the founder of House of Kringle and a real-bearded, professional Santa Claus serving Los Angeles and Orange County since 2016. A lifelong stage performer and full member of SAG-AFTRA, Brian has appeared as Santa Claus in commercials and films, and has served as Union Station’s Santa Claus since 2017. Every booking is backed by an annually renewed background check and entertainer’s liability insurance. After a 35-year career in software development and corporate technical support, Brian brings that same precision and reliability to the red suit — portraying Santa, he says, is an honor he never takes for granted.
