This is the original training course that every other CPW workshop is built upon! This course sets you on a learning adventure—whether you are a veteran or new to the Christmas scene—to fully embrace the tools you have available to make the best of your Christmas character and creating a magical experience. Focus on the skills and techniques to become the best Santa, Mrs. Claus, or Elf that you can be.
