If you love to go big with your Christmas decoration display — but you want your decor to represent who you are — you might have noticed some gaps in the market. But not anymore, thanks to a teenager from Westchester, New York. Cason Dean is the founder of Inclusive Christmas, a new brand that makes large inflatables for your yard that broaden the scope of who Santa can be. It offers Pride Santa, Black Santa, Sandra Claus, Hanukkah Hank and more inflatables to represent the diverse range of people across the U.S. who celebrate the holiday season.
It all started when Cason, who is half Korean, tried to find an Asian Santa for his dad — but couldn't.

"Ever since we moved to the suburbs five years ago, my dad has put up outdoor decorations for Christmas. Last year, I wanted to get him an Asian inflatable Santa because I’m half-Korean, and I couldn’t believe one didn’t already exist," he told Westchester Family. "So I figured, why not create my own? I originally thought about just making Asian Santas. but my family and I talked about how there are other groups that might also want to see themselves represented. So we added Pride Santa, then Black Santa and then Sandra Claus."
The idea only grew from there.
"After we launched, based on customer feedback, we also added Hannukah Hank for Jewish and interfaith families," Cason said. "This all happened in about 10 months where, with help from my family, I designed the prototype, found a manufacturer, registered the Inclusive Christmas website, created a logo, built a website, applied for 'Shark Tank' and started selling the Santas."
The business has taken off so much that you can now buy Inclusive Christmas inflatables at Walmart — including on Walmart's website, so you can have them shipped anywhere in the U.S. That means your own holiday display just got a lot more inclusive.
