The Santa Anita Park horse racing venue at the edge of Arcadia — home to the Enchant Christmas holiday experience each winter — draws visitors from across Los Angeles County for a holiday lights walk, ice skating, and a version of Santa that is built for large public events. The families who visit Enchant Christmas often want something different for their own children: a private moment at home or at a holiday gathering where Santa knows each child’s name and the experience isn’t shared with thousands of strangers. House of Kringle serves exactly that need, and Arcadia families regularly book private visits alongside the public holiday events the city is known for.
Arcadia Unified School District’s parent community — organized, connected, and accustomed to high-quality school programming — is an active channel for Santa visit inquiries. Parents planning school holiday parties, classroom events, or preschool celebrations in the AUSD area look for a Santa who handles children comfortably in a structured group environment. House of Kringle has experience with school and classroom events and can work within the logistics that school-based bookings require.
The Westfield Santa Anita shopping center and the 626 Night Market represent Arcadia’s broader community gathering character. For businesses and employers in the area planning corporate holiday events, and for community organizations planning group celebrations, the same professionally trained Santa who does private family visits is available for group engagements at a range of scales and venues throughout the San Gabriel Valley.
