Do you bring Santa to Lakewood, CA?

Yes — Lakewood is a regular part of House of Kringle’s Los Angeles County service area. House of Kringle serves families and organizations throughout Lakewood and the surrounding cities, including Long Beach, Cerritos, Bellflower, and neighboring communities. Booking opens July 25 through houseofkringle.com.

How does booking work, and what is the retainer?

Bookings are submitted through the House of Kringle website. Confirming your date requires a retainer — a partial payment that holds your time slot and is applied toward the total balance. Full visit details, including duration, number of children, and any specific requests, are gathered at booking so the visit can be individually prepared before Santa arrives.

Can Santa bring Mrs. Claus or North Pole Elves to our Lakewood event?

Live Visits can include Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, or North Pole Elves depending on the experience you’re booking. The character lineup is discussed at the time of booking and scoped to fit the occasion — whether that’s an intimate family home visit or a larger community or group event.

What's the difference between a Live Visit and a Virtual Visit?

A Live Visit is an in-person experience — Santa arrives at your Lakewood home or event location, engages directly with the children and guests present, and the visit is tailored to your specific family and setting. A Virtual Visit delivers the same personalized interaction over video, for families who prefer a remote option or can’t schedule in person. Both are individually prepared in advance with the attending children’s names and details.

How far in advance should I book, and when does the season open?

The booking season opens July 25 and runs through December 25. December weekend dates — particularly Saturdays and Sundays in the two to three weeks before Christmas — fill earliest. Booking as soon as the season opens is the practical approach for anyone with a fixed date in mind. Weekday availability is generally broader throughout the season.
