The Santa Legacy™ Workshop
Becoming the person
children already believe you are.
Carry the spirit of Christmas beyond December
by helping children feel
seen, valued, and safe —
all year long.
Next live sessions begin August 13, 2026
8-week interactive workshop • Live on Zoom
Why This Exists
This workshop was created for Santas, Mrs. Clauses, and other Christmas Magic Makers who have discovered that wearing the suit changes you.
At some point, the role stops being about scripts or performance.
It becomes about presence, responsibility, and heart.
About how children feel when they are with you.
The Santa Legacy Workshop isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about having the language, support, and community to grow into a role you may already be living.
A role that carries the quiet power to help children feel seen, safe, and valued — often in moments they will remember for a lifetime.
If you’ve ever felt that the role of Santa carries deeper meaning than most people realize… you’re not alone.
This is for you if ...
You feel the weight of the role as much as the joy
You want to move beyond Naughty/Nice without losing the Magic
You care deeply about how children feel after an interaction with you
You’ve realized Santa is about Legacy, not just December
You want to do this with intention, not exhaustion
What we’ll walk through together
Over eight weeks, we’ll explore:
- Identity and purpose beneath the suit
- How children experience wonder, belief, and memory — and what helps them feel seen in those moments
- Practicing generosity, kindness, love, and presence in real interactions
- Storytelling that creates connection, not pressure — honoring the child in front of you
- Carrying Christmas Magic year-round
- Legacy, mentorship, and becoming a Santa Legacy Ambassador

Who this is led by
This workshop is led by Jenny L. Watt and Santa John McCarty, creators of The Santa Legacy™ and long-time stewards of Christmas Magic in real-world settings.
Between them, they have spent decades walking alongside children and families — not just during joyful moments, but during tender ones, too.
Hospital visits.
Grief.
First Christmases.
Last Christmases.
The questions children ask when they are trying to understand who they are and whether they matter.
Their work is grounded not in performance, but in presence.
Not in scripts, but in listening.
Not in behavior management, but in helping children feel seen, valued, and safe.
This workshop is shaped by lived experience — by moments that can’t be rehearsed, only honored — and by a deep belief that how we show up with children becomes part of their story.
Together, they guide Santas in becoming the person children already believe them to be.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.
