Recap of a Deaf Santa Claus Foundation event on Dec 22, 2025.
✦ Spreading joy in ASL since 2024
For two years we’ve brought the magic of Christmas to Deaf and hard of hearing children in ASL, their native language. No interpreter needed. Just eye contact, warmth, silliness, and love.
Whether you want to meet Santa, watch our film, support the mission, or bring Deaf Santa to your community, there’s a place for you here.
Book a visit, find an event near you, or invite Santa to your school or community center.
Stream the documentary, discover the story behind its creation, and find a community screening.
From T-shirts to gift wrap to our commemorative coin, every purchase supports our mission.
Follow Charles as he brings the magic of Christmas to children in ASL, their native language. More than a holiday tradition, it is a story of hope, belonging, and genuine connection.
For most Deaf children, the holidays widen a gap that’s already there — surrounded by family, but unable to share the stories, the songs, or Santa’s reply.
Most grow up in households where ASL is a second language, if it’s signed at all.
Most Deaf kids grow up watching family conversations they can’t fully join.
It’s the biggest reason most Deaf Santas never get a full season in the chair.
Charles is one of a small handful of Deaf Santas working in the U.S. today.
