Steps:
- For the frosting: In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the mascarpone and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the mixture is thick and smooth. Using a spatula, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small star piping tip.
- For the Santas: Using a paring knife, cut off the leaf-end of each strawberry to make a flat surface. Cut a 1/2- to 3/4-inch piece from the pointed end of each strawberry and reserve as the hats.
- Place the strawberries, wide-side down, on a work surface. Pipe a 3/4-inch-high swirl of frosting on each strawberry. Place the hats on top and pipe a small ball of frosting on top of the hats. Press two chocolate chips, pointed-sides inward, into the swirl of frosting to make eyes.

Steps:
- Cut the hulled-side strawberries so they can stand up on a plate. Slice the tip off each strawberry to make the 'hat'; set aside.
- Beat cream and confectioners' sugar in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form soft mounds.
- Spoon a large dollop of whipped cream on top of strawberry base for the 'face' and 'beard'. Set the 'hat' atop the 'face'. Add a dot of whipped cream, using a toothpick, on top of the 'hat' for the 'pom-pom' and 2 dots on the strawberry base for 'buttons'. Place 2 sprinkles on the 'face' for 'eyes'.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries: The quality of your strawberries will greatly impact the taste of your Santas. Look for berries that are plump, red, and have a sweet aroma.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the strawberries: This will help you make clean, even cuts and prevent the berries from tearing.
- Be careful not to overstuff the strawberries: Too much filling can make the Santas difficult to eat and may cause them to fall apart.
- Chill the Santas before serving: This will help them to set and make them easier to handle.
- Serve the Santas with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce: This will add a touch of extra sweetness and flavor.
Conclusion:
Strawberry Santas are a fun and easy holiday treat that is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking.
