Santa Vic tells News 3 his popularity isn't limited to Hampton roads. He's done personalized video calls to children up and down the east coast, to California to Nova Scotia.
"I've been called Santa, I've been called Christmas, I've been called Ho, Ho, Ho, but all of them pretty much recognize me," said Manuel."Even before growing the beard, I would wear a hat like this under my hard hat and most of my coworkers would call me Santa Claus," he sad.
About two years ago, Manuel said he discovered there was a need for Santas that looked more like him. So, he grew out his beard, bought a red hat and coat, and immediately started getting booked up."I probably was booked the first week of December enough for the whole month, but I've been trying my best to squeeze people in," he said.
Santa Vic said his popularity isn't limited to Virginia. He's done personalized video calls to children up from California to Nova Scotia. Manuel admits that some kids have questions about his appearance. His message to them is one that resonates all year long. "Sometimes you can see the questions rolling around in their head and there's some that come straight out and let me know that I'm not the Santa that they're used to seeing and the best I can say is everyone is the same no matter what color they are," he said.
