Posted by: Getting photos with Santa at the mall is a timeless tradition, and the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season. No lines, no stress, just pure holiday joy you'll remember for years to come.
The closer we get to Christmas, the busier photos with Santa events get.
It can be hard enough to get a good photo with Santa with kids – with nap time, meal times, and sometimes fear of strangers, parents never know what to expect with Santa pictures.
While no one can promise your kids won’t cry, being able to schedule it around the best time for your kids will give you the best chance!
For more than 65 years, Cherry Hill Programs has been the heart behind the magic. With millions of smiles captured and generations of families returning year after year, they’ve turned Santa photos into a holiday tradition worth celebrating.
