About Santa Skip

Meet Santa Skip🎅🏻🎄

I'm Skip Bowers, and I have the honor of bringing Santa Claus to life. My wife, Donna, joins me as Mrs. Claus when requested—and together, we bring holiday magic wherever we go!

My journey as Santa began in 1970 in downtown Westminster, Maryland. Over the years, I’ve made appearances for families and local events, helping to keep the magic of Santa alive in the hearts of children. After a break, I was invited back into the sleigh by a local restaurant for a “Breakfast with Santa”—and I haven’t looked back since!

I’m a Real Bearded Santa and a proud graduate of the Mastering Santa course through the Worldwide Santa Claus Network, where I honed my skills in storytelling, character, and child engagement.
