🎄 Meet Bob McMasters (Big D Santa | Lone Star Santa Claus) 🎄

We’re excited to welcome Bob McMasters, a seasoned professional Santa entertainer from Mesquite, Texas, as part of our Jingle Joy weekend! Bob has been bringing Christmas magic to families since 2011, including 13 seasons at Town East Mall, and has been featured in Cherry Hill Programs’ photography network, helping create Christmas memories across the world.

Bob is also a passionate mentor and educator in the Santa community. He became Lead Instructor for Gordon Bailey’s SatBobS Professional Technical Training School for Christmas Entertainers in 2016 and proudly became the owner in 2023. His mission is simple: help Santas build a professional, ethical, and sustainable calling rooted in heart and tradition.

⭐ Award Highlight: Bob was named Cherry Hill Program's “Santastic Santa 2023”, one of only six Santas recognized nationwide. His dedication to serving children of all abilities, including special-needs engagements across school districts, reflects his belief that every child deserves Christmas magic.
