About Santa
Bringing the Magic of Christmas to Life for Over 30 years!
Hello! My name is Rick Donnella, and I have had the honor of portraying Santa Claus for more than 30 years. For three decades, I’ve dedicated myself to sharing the special magic of Christmas with children and adults alike, creating joyful memories that last a lifetime.
I proudly serve families, businesses, and communities throughout the Indianapolis and Southern Indiana area, brining an authentic, warm, and heartfelt Santa experience to every visit.
I’m committed to authenticity, professionalism, and the true spirit of the season. I am a proud member of several respected Santa organizations, including:
* The Worldwide Santa Claus Network
* The Real Bearded Santa Claus
* The Hoosier Santa Claus Network
These memberships reflect my dedication to excellence, continuing education, and maintaining the traditions that make Santa so magical.
The Santa Experience
Weather visiting a home, school, church, corporate event or community celebration, my goal is always the same:
To create a magical and memorable experience
To bring joy, laughter, and warmth to every interaction
To make each child feel seen, heard, and truly special
From heartfelt conversations to classic Santa storytelling, every visit is filled with kindness, patience and holiday cheer.
Serving the Community
For many years, I have been honored to be a part of Christmas traditions throughout Indianapolis and Southern Indiana. Including the Spencer Indiana Christmas on the square. Families often invite me back year after year, allowing me to become a cherished part of their holiday celebrations.
I am also proud to participate in special community events, including Christmas at the Square and Santa night at the Lyons Club in Spencer, Indiana
