Larry Hansen, aka Santa Red

Larry Hansen

Larry Hansen AKA Santa Red was born in snowy Alaska, where winter nights stretched long and cold. From an early age, he found warmth in music, laughter, and the joy of bringing people together. Those gifts became his way of making the world brighter.

In Washington, Larry’s journey took on a new meaning when his father-in-law, a seasoned Santa, passed along his red robe and the responsibility that came with it. From then on, Larry became Santa Red, continuing a family tradition of kindness and merriment while adding his own musical touch.

Santa Red’s greatest joy is seeing faces light up with wonder, whether young or old. His hope is simple: that every visit leaves behind a memory of warmth, kindness, and the reminder that Christmas magic lives in all of us.
