🎄 A Brand New Adventure Awaits!
We're putting the finishing touches on Santa's newest destination, Santa's Fishing Cabin!
Promotional images coming soon.
October 17 & 18
- This will be the only magical set offered during this weekend.
- Available exclusively as our 25-Minute Santa Experience.
Step inside Santa's cozy fishing cabin, tucked away in the snowy North Woods, where Christmas traditions and outdoor adventures come together.
Join Santa as you bundle up for a day of ice fishing, cast a line through the frozen lake, and see what surprises might be waiting beneath the ice. Explore vintage fishing gear, old wooden snowshoes, weathered minnow buckets, and rustic cabin treasures while sharing stories and laughter with Santa.
Whether you're capturing playful moments with young children or creating timeless family portraits, Santa's Fishing Cabin offers a warm, nostalgic setting that's full of authentic Northwoods charm.
What to Wear
Santa's Fishing Cabin has a cozy Northwoods feel, so we encourage dressing for a winter adventure!
Think warm, cozy, and layered:
- Flannel shirts
- Chunky knit sweaters
- Quilted vests
- Winter coats or jackets
- Knit hats, scarves, and mittens
- Winter boots
- Jeans or warm leggings
- Plaid patterns and rich earth tones
Creams, forest greens, deep reds, navy, charcoal, brown, and mustard all photograph beautifully in this rustic cabin setting.
Please Note: While our studio wardrobe includes many outfits for our other Santa experiences, we have very limited wardrobe options for Santa's Fishing Cabin. We recommend bringing your own clothing to complete the cozy Northwoods look.
Perfect for children and families of all ages.
Available October 17 & 18
Why book so early?
Enjoy a stress-free holiday season by getting your Santa portraits done before the holiday rush. You'll have plenty of time to order Christmas cards, create personalized gifts, and check one more thing off your Christmas list—all while making magical memories with Santa.
Welcome to Christmas Lane
Where twinkling lanterns light the way and Christmas magic fills the air.
Children can stroll hand-in-hand with Santa down the snowy path, snuggle close as he shares a favorite Christmas story, or stop for a cozy cup of hot cocoa (aka milk) and cookies with Santa, catch falling snowflakes, blow snowy wishes into the winter air, and create heartwarming memories along the way.
Inspired by the timeless charm of a Norman Rockwell Christmas, this enchanting set is filled with wonder, laughter, and the magic of the season.
Please Note: Activities and scenes may vary depending on your child's age, personality, the session you choose, and the natural flow of your visit with Santa.
Welcome to Red Velvet Christmas
Where the magic of Christmas Eve comes to life.
Gather around with Santa as he reads a beloved holiday story, play with treasured toys, and help add the finishing touches to the Christmas tree.
Little ones can even pretend to drift off to sleep as Santa quietly tiptoes in for a magical Christmas Eve visit.
With its rich red velvet sofa, glowing Christmas trees, and nostalgic holiday atmosphere, this set captures the warmth, wonder, and traditions of an old-fashioned Christmas.
Please Note: Activities and scenes may vary depending on your child's age, personality, the session you choose, and the natural flow of your visit with Santa.
Santa's Sleigh Ride
Get ready for a jolly adventure in Santa’s Sleigh!
A high-spirited holiday set that brings the magic of Santa’s travels to life! What child wouldn’t love hopping into Santa’s sleigh for a ride through the snowy skies?
Just hold on tight, his reindeer can get a little wild!
This playful experience is perfect for animated kiddos who don’t mind getting up close and personal with Santa.
The children are welcome to wear their own outfits, or you can borrow our cozy Christmas pajamas or adorable elf costumes. (limited sizes available)

Where holiday wishes come to life!
If your child has ever dreamed of visiting the North Pole to help Santa make toys, this is their chance.
In this charming, hands-on set, children will join Santa in pretending to build and paint toys, just like one of his cheerful elves.
Dress your child in their favorite holiday outfit or choose from our cozy Christmas pajamas, available in various sizes for both boys and girls.

Norman Rockwell Christmas
Step into a Norman Rockwell Christmas.
A warm, nostalgic holiday set filled with the glow of twinkling lights and beautifully decorated vintage-style Christmas trees.
This cozy scene captures the timeless charm of a classic Christmas Eve.
Depending on your session and the natural flow of your child's visit with Santa, they may enjoy playing with toys by the fire, listening to treasured holiday stories, taking a magical ride on Santa's toboggan, pretending to drift off to sleep while waiting for Christmas morning, or quietly sneaking a peek at Santa as he delivers gifts beneath the tree.
Every session is designed to feel natural and unhurried, allowing genuine interactions and magical moments to unfold. While no two visits are exactly alike, each one is thoughtfully crafted to create beautiful memories and timeless, storybook-inspired portraits.
It’s a heartwarming, storybook-style session that brings the wonder of Christmas to life in every photo.
Welcome to Santa’s Rustic Workshop
Where timeless Christmas memories begin.
A cozy, hands-on holiday experience where children step into the magical world of Santa's workshop! Just like Santa's elves, they'll help "build" and "paint" toys (all make-believe, of course), test out a few of Santa's newest creations, and watch as a sprinkle of Christmas magic brings the workshop to life.
Before their adventure ends, they'll search for their names on Santa's Nice List, creating a moment filled with excitement and wonder.
This playful set is perfect for classic holiday attire, cozy Christmas pajamas, or one of our studio's Elf, Nutcracker, or Drummer Boy outfits.
Every visit is filled with imagination, laughter, and genuine Christmas magic, creating storybook portraits your family will treasure for years to come.
Please Note: Activities and scenes may vary depending on your child's age, personality, the session you choose, and the natural flow of your visit with Santa.
Christmas Lane Quick Takes
Our Quick Take Sessions are a simplified version of The Magical Santa Experience, held on the enchanting Christmas Lane set.
Available in 10 or 20 minute sessions, these portraits include many of our favorite Santa poses and interactions while providing a shorter visit that's perfect for families looking for beautiful portraits with Santa in less time.
Although these sessions do not include the extended activities, milk and cookies, or signature magical artwork featured in our full experience, they still provide a fun, interactive visit with Santa and stunning portraits your family will cherish for generations.
