Your Santa Questions Answered


  • Do I need a beard?
    Having a beard is helpful—but what really makes a great Santa is your heart. Whether it's naturally grown, bleached, or a high-quality synthetic piece, what completes a Santa is the heart, presence, and magic you bring to the role.  
  • Am I an independent contractor or an employee with Cherry Hill?
    At Cherry Hill, Santa is an employee, not an independent contractor. What that means is you are paid through weekly payroll with proper tax reporting via direct deposit. You bring the magic-we’ll handle the rest! 
  • Do I need to carry performer’s insurance?
    CHP covers your insurance for any work you are hired for. Private gigs you book fall outside that protection, so separate insurance is necessary if you book events.  
  • Am I allowed to work my private events if I sign up for a CHP Santa assignment?
    Absolutely! Many of our Santas book private events in addition to their Cherry Hill assignments. Just make sure to make your recruiter aware of your needs ahead of time. We want you to make the most of your Santa season! 
  • Can I wear my own suit?
    If you’re interested in wearing your own suit, we can inquire with your location ahead of time to check if that’s possible. Ultimately, the venue's guidelines determine what’s allowed. Cherry Hill provides two suits and an emergency backup during the season. 
  • What’s the pay for a CHP Santa?
    No middleman fees-you keep every dollar you earn. We have a high demand over hundreds of locations and venues across North America, and we can ensure your Santa calendar stays full. Earnings can vary based on location and hours, but our goal is simple: we make Santas money!
