Handmade Santa Claus and Rudolph the Reindeer puppets from California Kids Fun

Brand new for this Christmas

Meet the stars of the show

You won't find these characters at any other party. Jungle Joe, a puppet maker for over 26 years, built Santa and Rudolph by hand in the California Kids Fun workshop, just for this holiday season. Kids can't get enough of them.

We hired California Fun Kids last minute for my daughter’s 6th birthday because rain forced us to move her party indoors. They were amazing from start to finish! A couple days beforehand they sent clear instructions on how to prepare the space for the entertainer, which made everything stress-free. Payment was simple and straightforward.
The show itself was fantastic! my daughter said her favorite part was how funny the entertainer was! All the kids had such a great time and were fully engaged. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely hire them again. Highly recommend!

Just amazing!
We decided to do something different for our 5-year-old's birthday this year and hosted it at the park. Instead of the usual bounce house, I booked a puppet show I'd only heard about through word of mouth--without even seeing it beforehand. Sam showed up right on time and got the show going quickly. From the very start, the kids were completely captivated, and the parents were just as entertained. It was so fun to see something new and different at a birthday party. The kids loved being able to pet the puppets and laugh along with all their silly antics. Honestly, it became the highlight of the party--everyone was talking about it. Later, so many parents messaged me saying how memorable and special the party felt.

Christmas party questions

How much is the Christmas show?

Santa's Puppet & Magic Duo is $375 for 45 minutes. The Ultimate Christmas Entertainment package is $575 for 2 hours, with balloon twisting and dance games included. There's no deposit and no travel fee on either package.

Who are the puppets in the Christmas show?

The show stars Santa Claus and Rudolph the Reindeer, two brand-new puppets handmade in the California Kids Fun workshop just for this holiday season. Both Christmas packages include them.

Does it work for an office or company holiday party?

Yes. The show keeps the kids together in one place so the grown-ups can talk, and there are jokes for the parents too. We invoice your company and can include a W-9, a certificate of insurance, a PO number or your vendor form.

What age group is the show for?

It's built for ages 2 to 10, and mixed ages are no problem. Tell us the kids' age group when you book and we'll tailor the show.

We're expecting a very big group. How does that work?

If you're expecting more than about 60 kids, or guests will come and go over several hours, we split it into two shows: one near the start and a second an hour later. Balloon twisting in between keeps the lines short. Tell us your numbers and we'll plan the timing with you.

When should we book for December?

As early as you can, ideally in October or early November. December weekends fill first, and weekday evenings go fast too.

How do we pay?

Payment is due on the day of your event, so there's nothing to pay upfront. Most families pay by Zelle, cash or check after the show. Prefer a credit card? Ask and we'll send you a secure payment link.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry $1M/$2M commercial general liability insurance and can send a certificate of insurance (COI) to your venue, HOA or park.

What areas do you serve?

We serve the San Francisco Bay Area plus Stockton and Modesto, with no travel fee. We're a family business based in Manteca and have been entertaining kids since 2000.
