The Ragged School Museum in East London opened its doors for its annual training day and Joey was there to learn the tricks of the trade.
He joined this year's 30 trainee Santas who have been put through their paces. The bearded classroom full of Santas learnt how to say 'Merry Christmas' in 15 different languages, perfect a jolly "Ho Ho Ho!" and even recite 'Twas The Night Before Christmas'.

The Ministry of Fun (Britain’s biggest supplier of Father Christmas performers) who run the course are now into their 18th year meaning over 25 litres of sherry and 1,275 mince pies have been consumed since they started. They've even calculated that they have sung the traditional Christmas song 'Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer' 1,620 times!
The guy with one of the best jobs in the world, Lead Santa trainer said on the day, "Father Christmas is magical part of every child’s life at this time of year, regardless of colour, creed or current European status. Everyone deserves a bit of magic in their life."
Educating Joey Christmas Special will be shown on TV later this year.
