What is Stories with Santa?
We create magical, immersive experiences in private appointments with the Jolly Old Elf, himself! Booking is by invitation only – simply request an invite and the booking link will be delivered to your e-mail inbox!
The Experience
Sessions are booked by appointment only and are available by invitation only.
- - Read a story by the fire.
- - Chat about the reindeer and the North Pole
- - Tinker with antique toys in the workshop
- - Chart Santa's Flight Path on the globe
- - Check our Santa's magic key and pocket watch
- - Get a special gift from Santa's bag
- - Find their name on the "Nice" list
The Set
The set is real and completely interactive. Children may touch and play with everything they see. Special props and toys make the experience true to life and we hope your child feels like they visited the North Pole and not just a portrait studio.
Each appointment is customized so children will find their name on the "Nice" list and have an experience tailored to their individual personalities and needs.
Pricing
A 15 minute private appointment with Santa is $400 + MD sales take and includes your choice of 3 digital images in their full resolution, without watermark and with print release. About 1 week after your session, you’ll receive an online gallery of at least 10 artfully retouched images. You can choose your 3 favorite images to download and purchase additional digital images, prints and products. No additional purchase is required but most families budget $500-800 for their order.
The 2026 Set:
These backdrops are just the base for all of the real, interactive and full-size props, toys, furniture and trees with twinkling lights.
