“If ever there was a man born to be Santa Claus, it is Phillip L. Wenz. At the age of four years old he donned his first Santa outfit. By the time he was fourteen he was in his first parade, and by the ripe old age of twenty-four, he became the year round Santa Claus for the iconic Santa’s Village in Dundee, Illinois. An association he has now had for more than twenty years. Wenz has appeared in nationally televised parades, commercials, and at some of the nation’s largest corporate and civic holiday events. His resume also includes work in Santa Claus, Indiana at the Historic Candy Castle, consulting on Christmas programs, and being a published author. He is, bar none, one of the most experienced Santas in America and probably the world. Wenz’s body of work spans five decades, truly making him The Legendary Santa Claus from Santa’s Village.
