Where to Buy Santa Suits in Canada

Where to Buy Santa Suits in Canada

Don't ask me what made me think of it but this morning it occurred to me that I had no idea at all where to buy Santa suits in Canada. I'm pretty sure this thought originated from the deep, dark recesses of my mind, where strange ponderings and the never-ending searches for Canadian based Christmas topics live. Anyway, it popped into my head, so figured it would make a good post. Could be that I'll be the only one interested in knowing the answer, we'll see.

First off, those of us who are adults may note the absence of the types of Santa suits that are typically used in...*ahem*...role playing. This is a family-friendly site, so we won't be going there, don't even ask.

All of the potential locations and vendors deal in the usual and much-loved costume that kids and parents expect to see Santa in, whether at the mall or sliding down the chimney. So, here goes.

eBay has, at least they do at the time I'm typing this, several different Santa costumes. You can get the whole kit and kaboodle, or just purchase the facial and head hair that St. Nick is famous for. The amount you'll spend will depend on the quality of fabric and how convincing you want to be for the kiddies. I saw one at under twenty bucks and a deluxe suit that's selling for $122.62. I didn't look at very many since I'm not actually in the market for a Santa suit but did notice a little dog suit, very reasonably priced at $3.99. The ones I viewed were all listed in Canadian dollars.

Costume Chik I had never heard of before researching for this post but they're located in Calgary and offer speedy shipping with free ground shipping on orders over $75.00. I only checked the first search page that I've linked to here. Their suits are more money than the eBay listings, ranging from $82 to $400 (rounded off) but you can also buy a slew of individual Santa costume accessories and yes, even some for women that are slightly naughty. I don't know this company, so this is not an endorsement, just information.

Nextag has a pretty full collection of Santa suits, including a bunch for the Mrs. Poor Mrs. Claus, she's so far out of the limelight, it's no wonder she's pale. Probably does all the work, too.

Sears Canada doesn't have a ton of Santa suit variety but the prices are very reasonable and Sears is a trusted Canadian company.

Please note that I am not recommending or endorsing any of these merchants, just helping you get a start in your costume shopping. Hopefully, it'll be easier now that you know where to buy Santa suits in Canada. You won't have to cross the border or even leave home unless you want to. Find one you like, click, arrange for it to be shipped to you. Kinda sounds easy, too bad I don't need one.
