Michael Briggs, also known as Santa Michael of New Mexico, has been bringing the spirit of Christmas to families, businesses, and communities for decades.
A retired elementary school teacher of over 30 years, Michael’s journey as Santa Claus began in 1982 when he portrayed the jolly old elf at Coronado Center Mall during the Christmas season. What started as a seasonal role quickly grew into a lifelong passion. Over the years, he appeared at numerous corporate functions, professional photo shoots, charity events, and community celebrations, sharing joy and creating lasting memories for children and adults alike.
In 2017, Michael began performing as Santa full-time. Since then, he has had the privilege of appearing at corporate events, private parties, home visits, television commercials, tree-lighting ceremonies, community festivals, and many other special occasions throughout New Mexico.
Michael is a proud member of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas (IBRBS) through the New Mexico Chapter. The IBRBS is the world’s largest organization of professional, real-bearded Santas dedicated to promoting excellence, authenticity, and the true spirit of Christmas.
He has also graduated from several Christmas Performers Workshops to hone his craft. During his off season, he follows other Santas’ blogs and continues to learn and build on his skills.
Whether visiting with children, greeting guests at a corporate event, or helping create magical holiday memories, Santa Michael is committed to delivering an authentic, heartwarming experience that captures the wonder and joy of the Christmas season.
