Southern Santa Experience Booking is LIVE!

For a few magical minutes, Christmas becomes real!

Imagine your child stepping through the doors and into what feels like a scene from their favorite Christmas movie—a warm, twinkling North Pole workshop filled with glowing Christmas lights, holiday music, toys waiting to be tested, the smell of freshly baked cookies, busy elves and, of course, Santa Claus himself.

This isn’t a quick photo with Santa.

It’s a private Christmas experience created entirely for your family.

Now celebrating our 5th year in Peachtree City, the 5-star-rated Southern Santa Experience combines a beautiful family photography session with a 15–30 minute immersive holiday adventure your children actually get to become part of.

And the magic begins before you even arrive.

Your children receive their very own personalized golden invitation from Santa, letting them know he is expecting them at his secret Peachtree City workshop. Suddenly, they aren’t simply going to see Santa. Santa invited them.

When your family arrives, there are no crowded lines and no rushing through a two-minute visit. Your private appointment belongs to your family.

Santa’s elves greet your children by name and welcome them into the workshop, Christmas surprises around every corner and something magical waiting for them to do.

They’ll test toys with Santa’s elves, laughing and playing as they become recruited as honorary North Pole helpers.

They’ll sit beside Santa and decorate Christmas cookies, piling on frosting and sprinkles—and, of course, eating their creations together.

They’ll step into Santa’s toy workshop to paint their own wooden toy, creating a keepsake they can take home and remember long after Christmas is over.

Then comes one of our favorite moments: Santa reveals his Nice List and your child discovers their own name written on it.

They can share their Christmas wishes, talk with Santa, laugh with him and enjoy the kind of unhurried interaction that simply doesn’t happen during a traditional Santa visit.

And before they leave, Santa reaches inside his famous red bag and pulls out a special gift just for them.

But while your children are busy experiencing the magic, something else is happening. We’re capturing it.

The tiny expressions. The belly laughs. The look on their face when they find their name. Frosting-covered fingers. Conversations with Santa. The moment the gift comes out of his bag. The way they look at you when they can’t quite believe this is actually happening.

You don’t have to experience Christmas through your phone. You get to be in the memory with them. Your experience includes beautiful professional family portraits with and without Santa depending on the package you select, classic Santa photographs, candid photography throughout the experience and beautiful holiday video capturing the moments in between.

So instead of paying for a traditional family photo session and then taking your children somewhere else to visit Santa, you get both—plus an entire Christmas experience for your family.

One reservation is all you need for the whole family. Your reservation covers entry for up to six family members —so everyone gets to share in the Christmas magic together. You will receive 15+ beautiful digital images and a magical video of your families experience.

And when it’s over, you leave with far more than pictures.

You leave with the wooden toy they painted.
The memory of cookies with Santa.
The story of the elves who somehow knew their names as they are now honorary North Pole helpers.
The photograph of the moment they discovered they made the Nice List.

A special gift right out of Santa's bag.
And the pictures and video that let you relive it all long after they've stopped believing in Christmas magic quite this way.

Because childhood Christmases don't last forever. But this one can become part of your family's story.

For many families, The Southern Santa Experience becomes the tradition they look forward to every Christmas.
