Make sure you're on the NICE LIST by checking out last week's episode! "I Survived 72 Hours At Sea" feat. Max Fosh, Sam Denby, and Michael Reeves!! --> ua-cam.com/video/_IrJ8YHpSQ0/v-deo.htmlsi=01DSS8dkEki362b5

I was laughing so hard when Michelle was like "I can sleigh?" an then the other person was like "You can sleigh girl. Yes you can"
Same
I can "Sleigh" 🤣. I know that part killed me too.
I love when she said that to
REAL THO 😭😭😭
Michelle please reply
I had a feeling Michelle was gonna do something for Christmas but I never had Santa school in mind 😀
same like how never heard of it
as a real elf i can confirm it is real
same!!
fr
Lol ikr ✨
santa is a state of mind
Dang, it's been 4 hours, and no one has noticed UA-cam commented
@@Revan.8oh yea-
😊
No one’s noticed UA-cam 😂
YO I WAS SCROLLING DOWN AND I SAW UR COMMENT HI UA-cam
Btw I am here before this gets famous
Would love to see you do a challenge accepted as an ASL interpreter!! It might inspire some people to take that career path to provide accessibility to the Deaf community! Maybe you could interpret one song at a concert as your final challenge.
omg yess! she should!!
I would love to see this!!
Shut the hell up
THIS please!
I was just about to comment that!!!
I’m shocked that this school ACTUAL exsists, I thought that my cousin was joking when they said they went to a Santa school
I was thinking the same thing! And somehow I live 30 minutes away from the school!!!😂😅
Yea
@@tessb2515same thing!!!!!!!
i also go there too!!!!
2 UPLOADS IN A WEEK? WE’RE BEING SPOILED
IKR
Please mention me in one of your videos
Well her last upload was a bit shit I'm sure we can all agree so let's not act spoiled
Ikr

I didn’t realized the hard questions that come with being Mr/s Claus, like a family member passing or in jail, or the frustrations being around so much energy. Or even the shy kids (used to be me lol), I have a new found appreciation for all the work that goes into spreading joy. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
I just wanted to thank you for making this video Michelle.
I’ve been a subscriber of yours for years. While not an active one in the comments, but still a lurker who watches every video.
Regardless, I popped this video on for my mom without giving it a watch first and was pleasantly surprised that it took place in Midland, Michigan. My mom is from Michigan for context.
She really loved the video and asked for me to show it to my grandparents on Christmas.
They actually lived in Midland, Michigan for a decade or two. They loved watching the video.
Thank you for creating a video that I was able to share with my entire family 💜
It's sweet how she refers to the other learners as " Santa's Cousins"😂🥺
I feel like this is one of the most inner-child-healing videos ever posted; both santa michaels were so sweet and the story of how one became santa was so so meaningful and sweet I was honestly starting to cry at the very beginning but started ugly crying by that point. its impossible to not love all of your videos, but this one was especially magical- thank you for all of the magic you share
It is very difficult to get me to cry, I am very numb and stoic most of the time but this got me at certain points especially with the children.
Same like I have disliked Christmas for the last 3 years, mainly because of issues between my parents so this video made me realize how much Christmas joy I have been missing out
@@karinavelasquezlopez1974 i hope you can find the joy in Christmas again ❤
Same I couldn't laugh or cry until I watched this video😂🥺
The camera and the editing of these videos is top notch...felt like I was watching a movie ..great job guys
The spirit hit me so hard.... Those jolly men brought tears to my eyes and helped me refocus. What a wonderful video!!! Merry Christmas to all of you!
refocus yes! that’s the word i was looking for, it really opened my eyes & reminded me how christmas time is really a magical time
When Santa Lee gave the speech about getting up the courage to go from being an elf to Santa I started feeling so many things! Seriously that story in its self could be its own movie or documentary. Awesome episode Michelle Khare and team!
I would watch it!!
One day when I retire in 30 years, I will go to this school and become Santa. This video was amazing, I'm still crying 4 minutes after the video is done. Thank you Michelle!
about four years ago I was able to sit down with a guy who for years worded about eleven months a year then makes different experiences during December. Like these men in the video, he looks the part year-round. It was interesting to hear how much he loves it and what it does to his personal life.
I am planning to do the same, but as Mrs. Claus. I cried three times watching this video, it was so wonderful. See you there, fate willing! :)
I feel u brother, I’m crying too
My school has his raggedy, fake Santa that doesn’t even look like Santa, but he is very kind and he makes everyone laugh
This is so sweet 🥺 teared up near the end. It’s soo nice knowing that they learn sign language also to not let anyone feel left out. ❤❤❤
I love how Michelle is never afraid to try new things.
To all the Santa’s they might watch this video. If a child ask’s why elves have pointy ears, it’s because the workshop is very loud, and when Santa shouts out a toy order, they can individually hear it and make your toy!! Congrats on your hard work!!! Keep it up!!!
My husband is a Santa (actually, the Santa in the thumbnail). I'm going to tell him to use this!!
This video really got my inner child in her feelings 🥺 I used to love Christmas when I was younger even though I barely got gifts, but the energy, lights, movies and church made me love it as child. I started crying from the moment the video started till now 😢🥺❤️ thank you
making sure children and adults alike feel some magic for life is so important. made me cry from the first 5 minutes because there are still people out there that have this joy and love for others.
it’s really cute and heartwarming how much care is put into making the kids feel special and loved in a world that is so dark
LOVE that speech from the little person, it must be so easy to be typecast and stuck as forever the elf as a little person so he's gotta be a great Santa! And i'm so happy to see them teaching ASL so Santa can spread joy to ALL children 💖
That little person is my son and YES, he is a great santa. He really connects with the kids. ❤️🎅🏻
@@malindapenberthy4334Awesome. Just from that short clip of him, his passion really shines. He seems like the sort of guy born to be santa
Why is this video making me emotional? Christmas feels like just another day as an adult, but the overall joy and love for Christmas in this video has brought a little bit of that special feeling back!
You did a great job, Michelle! :D I could hear the heart in your voice. You gave this your all, and it showed. :)
It's funny that listening to both Santa Michaels made me feel like a kid just watching them, because they ARE Santa. It's in their voice, their eyes, their smiles, their demeanors, and their presence (presents. :) ). They are iconic Santas that me and millions of others have seen. I know I'm an adult, but for a couple of moments, I felt warm like I used to feel at Christmas.
Santa Michael's story about his dream made me cry.
What a good soul. :)
Elves need pointed ears so they can understand what the reindeer and other animals are saying. :) I'm also SO happy they teach sign language to be inclusive!
I saw a short of a mall Santa using sign language to talk to a little kid
It's great that they include everyone
@@lmXelathat’s so sweet of that Santa 🥹
Brooklyn made me cry... I hope she and everyone else in this video has a very merry Christmas!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one crying. Really beautiful video. We could all use a little more child-like wonder and joy in our lives
Girl, you both SLEIGHED and SLAYED!
Not me here crying over a santa school video ❤ great job Michelle, this was an amazing video to watch and such a beautiful look into the world of Santa Claus 🎅
I have never heard of Santa School before, guess I learn something new everyday
Same 😮
I'm born and raised in Michigan and had no idea we had that school here, pretty cool to learn.
This video brought back my joy for Christmas, it’s all about the children, spreading happiness and joy
I was watching you interacting with the kids and couldn’t stop smiling- you did such a good job!!
My friend, Santa Frank, comes from a long line of Santas and he and his dad still go to that same school in Midland every year 🥰 they’re both the sweetest and most jolly men I’ve ever met. Santa Frank even drives a red pickup truck and keeps his jolly Santa laugh year round!
It made me cry seeing that the santa school included signing as well. What a valuable thing to learn and know! Wonderful video.
I have seen a short of a mall Santa using asl and it was heartwarming
Grinning ear to ear, especially at the end there. I love how thoroughly Michelle got into the role of Mrs. Claus.
This episode made me, 30-year-old woman, cry. Life is very hard sometimes but seeing all these amazing men and women wanting to bring joy and hope to children during a time of year that is honestly not always as pictured in commercials is wonderful!
This was so wonderful, Michelle! I went between grinning from ear-to-ear and tearing up the whole video. Santa Michael's explanation of the dream he had where he was Santa visiting a sick child in the hospital...WOW; sometimes life really gives you a sign. I'm 31 with no children and every time I see a Santa in the mall or at an event I get so giddy and wave to him as if I'm 8 again. Huge respect for these men and women in red ❤
That part almost made me cry
Wow, this was one of the most wholesome and pure videos I’ve ever seen. Brings back so many memories.. Santas need more credit for the joy they spread! Beautiful video Michelle, thanks 🎅💕
I live in Midland !! I’ve known about the Santa House since I was a kid, and it’s amazing to see exposure about it !! And it completes my LIFE seeing a video of you in my home town 😱😱😱thank you for coming and sharing the love of midland. I love you Michelle!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Happy Holidays 🥰
This is awesome. All the Santa are very sweet and very unique.
It is so amazing they teach ASL for the kiddo and I love the kids reactions😊😊
I love that they taught everyone a little ASL! It's not that hard to include everyone in the magic of the season!
Seeing the joy in every moment is heartwarming! I was never able to meet a Mrs. Clause when I was young but seeing Brooklyn smile at the end was adorable because Mrs. Clause made her feel special! You did absolutely amazing Michelle!!!
Mannn if you really think about it if UA-cam ever kicks the bucket Michelle is gonna have THE world's best resume😂😂
One of the most joyous, heartwarming videos I have ever seen! The message of spreading joy and just having fun in santa school was really wholesome. Thank you!
16:23
He's just so incredible!!!
16:51
He just brings tears to my eyes!!! His tone.... he's just truly Santa!
Welp, Michelle... You just convinced me to go to Santa School when I get a bit older. This was more than beautiful. It was pure magic.
i bet Brooklyn's heart was so warmed when you told her Merry Christmas in sign language, Thank you Michelle!
You are truly the ultimate try girl. You never fail to amaze us. Very unexpected and yet very heart warming. Merry Christmas fellow adults and kids at heart.
I never knew there was a Santa school until now, but it is now my life mission to go
same
SAME! I live in Michigan how have I not heard of this?
Michelle, what you do is so incredibly important. You're a bloody superhero. You show us all that all of us can do, and achieve, anything we set our minds to. We need more of that positivity in the world.
I love this so much. Honestly I’ve been having a hard time getting in the Christmas spirit this year, mostly because I’m 19 and this is the first year where I’ve had a job that I have to work on Christmas Eve, but I think watching this has finally got me there.
I have watched every one of your video by stumbling on to them by who know how... but I have to say you have made me laugh and you have made a 40 year old physically cry... you have a true gift, and have inspired me to be so much more than I thought I could be... thank you Michelle for all your videos you do. Because of you and your whole team you have given me a reason to believe anything you set your mind to you can do and to never give up on your dream no matter how long you have tried and failed, hard work and dedication will make it happen. Keep being you and I hope that one day I could say because of you I achieved my dream because I didn't give up. I can't wait to see what your next video will be, I'm a film composer and classically trained pianist, I'd love to see you to and master a classical piano piece, that would make my day, no my whole life :), learning to play the piano, If you want too lol I could teach you ;)
Why am I crying about a Santa School video on a Saturday morning? Great work, this was fantastic!
The overpopulation problem with the elves had me 😂
Right like "NOBODY is gonna believe that"
Love your video, great work. Already watched it several times for the good vibes it gives me. Merry Christmas !
Michelle, this was amazing. Awesome job. Also as a side note, every one of your videos makes a difference. Please, don’t let anyone, including yourself, tell you differently. You make a difference and an impact every single day. Michelle, what Michael told you is true. You make a difference every time you post a video. Thank you to you, Garret, and your entire team for what you do.
honestly, i find it so amazing that these people are doing so much to keep the christmas spirit alive. truly making the world more magical!
I feel like Mrs. Claus is underrated
Really loving the longer episode, I could watch double this easily! Loving the more deep dive approach
The joy, and magic that the Santa lore brings to each and every one of us.....Michelle and team, yall knocked this video out of the park! I ugly cried through this video. Your kindness and your warmth was so heartfelt!
This was a level of wholesomeness I was not prepared for :')
I loved it, thank you!
Also, I love how some of the comments down below are like at 24:55 - 25:05.
Michelle: No, no, no… no hitting.
This video’s audience: Hehehe… I like this little one already.
The special effects on the editing side are amazing! The school, amazing! Your outfit is amazing! Watching this while wrapping gifts was a good call! So well done! I loved it all!
Happy Holidays!! 🥰
I do photography and a buddy of mine is a Santa for Mall of America and he’s asked me to do some photo gigs for him and people that take it seriously are absolutely wonderful. There’s so much that goes into it.
Michelle never misses to inspire someone with each video and challenge she does! This one definitely had me sobbing like every video does because of the dedication Michelle expresses! Thank you Michelle and Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎁 ❤️💚
Michelle you killed it yet again. I absolutely love the claymation opening which had a bit of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer feel and look to it. The pivot to Mrs. Claus was a smart move it took some of the pressure off of you. Even though this was a Challenge Accepted video I found myself looking inside of myself and found that I too have something to give to others. You have inspired me through this video to be more happy and friendly all through the year towards everyone. I also want to spread JOY to folks. Thank you for this video you showed me what Christmas is truly about.
Man…you just woke up my inner child with this …I cried, why…. Idk but I needed that thank you Michelle ❤️
This was so heartwarming; I was giggling the whole time. Michelle, you can easily restore people's faith in humanity. Have a good day.
This is the video we never knew we needed ❤ This made me laugh and smile and feel like I was a little kid again experiencing the joy of Santa’s wonders ❤ Thank you Michelle
This is so adorable and wholesome! I loved everything about this and I’m so surprised that there was even a Santa school. But I love how friendly everyone was! Merry Christmas to everyone!
This was an amazing episode, it touched a heart in Sweden! Thank you!
Michelle is the perfect person to make these videos. Shes just so heart warming to watch and interact with others while also teaching us something.
I lived in Midland for a few months and never knew how intensive this Santa school is. It's so cool to get to see it!
Happy new year Michelle
Wow you did so well! I cried when you signed Merry Christmas to Brooklyn! You are wonderful with kids. I know you will be a great mom if that's something you want.
It was so heart warming to see how Brookly was shy and you made her feel comfortable great job Michelle!
I really felt the power of this video, and the impact you made in those kids! Amazing job Michelle!
OMG, when Michelle said 'letting kids be heard'. Yup, total choke up moment for me. Great job Michelle. Very touched by this.
Michelle, you did an absolutely wonderful job as Mrs. Claus, you made all those lovely children so happy & I love how much fun you had with all the Santa's learning everything you needed to know about being a Santa & Mrs. Claus. Keep up the good work. Michelle, I hope you & your beautiful family are having a really wonderful day/night.
Merry Christmas to you & your lovely family & a Happy New Year.
❄️🇦🇺✌️🤠🎄🎅🎁🤶❄️
I know they have to be nice, but it made me so happy to see how nice these guys were!!
To be honest, when i see Santa communicating with children having them sat on his lap and asking what they would want for Christmas and bringing that personal experience just brings the biggest warmth to my heart and joy and this is why it is important to bring a bit of magic to the childrens imaginations ❤❤❤ thank you for this video Michelle and Merry Christmas
Don't know how I haven't seen this channel before, but I found it a few days ago and have binged HOURS of your vids! Great channel! Love 💘 the content!
I have seen all of your challenge accepted I LOVE YOU KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP!!!
I remember my time meeting Santa when I was first grade and now an adult. Gave me good memories. I am glad you had an opportunity to do this.
I'm a wood elf and we love to multitask. Love to see santa again
I didn’t even know there was a Santa school. Actually gives me some hope for humanity that people exist who are this dedicated to adding a little whimsy to childhood.
Hello Michelle this is awesome Ik this may be late but merry Christmas and happy new year to you. I did not even know there was a school for Santa I just thought they pick anyone who does an interview and looks the part. Thanks for another great informative video you are awesome.
Tell me why I cried like five times and I’m not even done watching!!! So so precious!
You got me all up in my feels with this. You never cease to amaze me Michelle. It is amazing to see that there is someone out there that is truly just a good person and puts their all into everything they do. Stay amazing and I can't wait to see what adventure you go on next.
your videos are amazing keep up the great work and merry christmas and happy holidays to everyone
Happy new year Michelle and crew! Binge watched so many episodes. New fan here
I think the best part of this video as i watched as ppl watching u try to be a Santa is gold. The joy and happiness on their face is pure. Watching this just makes my heart soar!! Maybe this is a second career option as i get older with time! Keep the hope, faith and innocence up!!
Merry Christmas! You're make-up and wig for Mrs. Claus were so on-point! You looked like you 40 years from now. This was fun, so thanks for doing it to keep us all entertained.
Not even done with this video, but it has already brought me to tears. Just to be reminded of a child's joy and amazement when they see santa. What that Santa did for your niece and nephew 😢, they will never forget that.
Thank you Michelle for coming to our town of Midland. We do have a great Santa House. The Santa's during Santa School are so fun to see every year!
My daughter, family and friends had a fun time with Mrs Claus and Santa. You did a great job. Great video.
I never had my eyes in tears in this video before. Keep up the good work!
ive never smiled so much during one of your videos till now. I love santa so seeing you take so much joy into this makes ME feel so much joy.
Decided to catch up on some Challenge Accepted while I was folding clothes - did not expect the message and overall aura of this video to get me to sit down and watch on with joyful kid wonder in my eyes. It’s been a rough junior year of high school, I’ve found myself having to harden myself and push joy and whimsy aside. But this video for sure lit some sparkles in my eyes 🩵
I started getting happy tears when I found out you were doing this for kids and not js seeing how it is to be Santa 🎅🏻
Why did I cry during her Santa parade practice 😂 I love Michelle!
