Have you ever wondered about the magic that goes behind being Santa Claus? Besides the typical questions like how he’s able to deliver toys to houses that don’t have chimneys, we decided to take things a step further by reaching out to our good friend Santa Rick to get the inside scoop on what it means to spread Christmas cheer. Grab a plate of Christmas cookies and get ready to learn the secrets of Santa Rick!
Rick Rosenthal first set his sights on this jolly career path in 2011, taking on the persona of Santa Rick. He quickly discovered a passion for spreading hope and cheer to children and adults. No matter if they’re a small child or an older individual, Santa Rick treats everyone with the same compassion and kindness. In 2016, he founded the Northern Lights Santa Academy, which is the largest Santa Claus school in the Southeast. This school has a stellar reputation for crafting Christmas professionals who represent the true spirit of Santa.
Santa Rick stays busy through the holiday season! Along with being Santa for the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Falcons, he’s also brand ambassador for an international video chat app that makes Santa accessible to families across the world and visits local communities, including Gwinnett, for special holiday events. He also volunteers for organizations including Big Brothers of America, Boy Scouts of America, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Toys for Tots, United Cerebral Palsy and the Georgia Aquarium.
One of the biggest takeaways from talking to Santa Rick is that he truly embodies the spirit of the holiday season through his compassion and kindness. He takes his role seriously because he wants to make the lives of the children and adults that he encounters better.
