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! 

The company behind the photos, Cherry Hill Programs, has been taking Santa photos at malls for more than 64 years. With millions of smiles captured and generations of families returning each year, they’ve truly mastered the Santa photo experience.
