Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson takes great pride in his ongoing partnership with Santa Claus. This year, they have joined forces to bring the magic of Christmas to every family in the Sunshine State. The personalized Certificates of Clearance are a special keepsake, adding an extra touch of excitement to the holiday season.

Adding Magic to the Holiday Season

Commissioner Simpson emphasizes the importance of Christmas traditions and the role of the agriculture industry in making this season special. The certificates, personalized with each child's name and signed by him, serve as a reminder of Santa's visit. Santa Claus himself expresses his gratitude for the kindness shown to him and his reindeer over the years and is excited to fly over Florida homes fueled by Florida-grown treats.

How to Get Your Personalized Certificate

Parents and guardians can easily create their child's custom certificate by visiting christmas.fdacs.gov. By setting up an account, they will receive an official digital certificate that can be printed and displayed in anticipation of Santa's arrival. This simple process allows families to be part of the holiday magic.

The Longstanding Partnership

As part of the longstanding partnership between FDACS and the North Pole, Commissioner Simpson will issue an Emergency Order later this month. This order will waive any regulations or requirements that could potentially delay Santa Claus' travel across Florida on Christmas. Details of this important order will be announced once it is issued, ensuring a smooth journey for Santa and his reindeer.
