How much for a personal visit by Santa Claus and Snow White?

On New Year’s Eve, child entertainment centers, a variety of companies as well as some inpiduals get busy.

As a rule, children await New Year’s Eve with great enthusiasm, which is why the “Santa Claus on call” service is becoming extremely popular. If you are not short on money, you can make your children extremely happy by arranging a truly unforgettable surprise for them. Along with Santa Claus, whose service costs 30-50 GEL, Snow White (whose visit costs 20-25 GEL), a clown, a pirate, Spider-Man, Mickey Mouse and other popular cartoon characters will also wish your children a Happy New Year.

Bpn.ge made a few calls and discovered that this business field is quite full and the competition is stiff. Still, all companies of this sort offer different prices for their services.

Mikheil Khipiani, founder and head of “Fun Bus”:

- For a visit from our Santa Claus, you will have to pay 50 GEL. However, this service does not include any entertainment programs, he only wishing a Happy New Year to kids. If you want to make your little angels extremely happy, you can pay 20-30 GEL and invite Snow White as well as other popular cartoon characters to your house. A visit from two cartoon characters will only cost 40 GEL; however, when Santa Claus has to meet a group of 100-200 children, the cost of his service increases to 300-350 GEL.

Besik Khintibidze, head of Medea Chakhava’s Theater Academy, has provided people with this service for 20years.

- I have served Georgian kids for two decades and we have always been eager to fill them with joy and happiness. We have our own academy producing professional Santas and other cartoon characters. A visit from our Santa Claus, which includes different entertainment programs, is only 50 GEL. If clients wish, their children can also enjoy meeting Snow White for 50 more GEL.

So,in the end, I can’t help pointing out that in the last few years Santa Claus has become more popular with our kids than our own Tovlis Babua (Father Christmas) and, frankly speaking, this saddens me greatly.
