Christmas Costumes: Santa Claus Suits | Reindeer & Elf Costumes

He’s been around for ages and he’s known in almost every country in the world. Whether you want to call him Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, or Pelznickel—there’s only ONE Santa Claus, and he brings joy and merry cheer to millions every Christmas season.

It’s no small feat becoming Santa. First, you have to get exceedingly jolly, you have to refine that palate and get it prepped for sugar overload but, most of all, you have to have the right costume! Like his names, Santa has had many looks over the years, but 20th century advertising has solidified the ideal Santa look to consist of a red suit with white trim, rosy cheeks, and a big white Santa beard. It’s a good thing you found us here at HalloweenCostumes.com! We have so much we think Kris Kringle himself would be quite impressed.

After you’ve got the look down, personality is key! Being Santa Claus is one of the most magical roles you could ever play. Children everywhere look forward to seeing you in your bright red suit, so that they can tell you about what they’ve been wishing and waiting for the whole year. Being Santa Claus doesn’t have to be expensive, either. You can play a perfectly convincing Santa with our simplest suit, or wear some of our more detailed replicas and have even the adults questioning whether you might actually exist. Use this guide, and no matter what name you go by, we’ll believe in you just like little Virginia did. “There really IS a Santa Claus!”
