Re-Imagined for Parents, by Parents!
Think back to those childhood visits to Santa—navigating crowded mall parking lots, enduring the endless lines, having just a fleeting moment with Santa, and leaving with nothing more than a blurry Polaroid as a keepsake. It's a shared experience for many of us, and frankly, it was ripe for a makeover.
At Holiday Magic Studios, we've revolutionized the Santa photo experience from the ground up.

Santa pictures with Holiday Magic Studio has been a tradition we hold dear for the last 8 years. Santa and staff have been amazing year after year. We do theme pictures every year and they always accommodate our silliness. Thank you Holiday Magic Studios for making this holiday tradition so memorable!
We absolutely LOVE holiday Magic Studios!!!!! Best Santa ever!!!! Hands down!!!!!! My daughter has been taking pictures with him since she was a baby and she’s 5 now, she gets soooo excited to see him every year!!!!! I highly recommend going to Holiday Magic Studios/Riverpark!!!! You will not be disappointed!!! 🎅🏻❤️
I love coming here with my kids. It has become a family tradition for the last 5 years. They are super understand of us being a blended family and switching people in and out of the pictures. My kids always leave with the biggest smiles on their faces.
I was nervous for my daughter's first time meeting Santa but everyone was so kind and good with her! Plus the pictures being ready almost instantly was amazing! Thank you!
I’ve been using this place for the past five years. Great experience! Plenty of pictures. Patience and best of all, Santa was perfect!
Such an amazing experience for the last 8 years! It’s so easy, Santa and the staff are excellent, and the backgrounds are beautiful! Highly recommend!
This was our second year taking pictures, and the experience has been just as amazing as the first! So amazing to see how the kids light up when seeing santa and all the toys in the shop! Highly recommend and hope they come back every single year!!!
Girl at check in wasn’t that friendly. But overall this is my favorite Santa. Same one every year, he’s friendly and the kids enjoy it. One thing for the older kids is mine are asking if he knows there name cause he’s “Santa” I think since they ask the kids name on check in Santa should he told the names so he address them by name.
We had an amazing experience this year getting our annual Santa pictures! All the helper elves are so amazing and accommodating which makes for such a smooth fast process! Santa was amazing as well! Wouldn't go anywhere else and will definitely be back next year!
