Getting Santa photos is one of those timeless holiday traditions. If you're like me, you have a collection of photos of your kids with Santa starting from the time they were babies. I'll also bet that you have at least one with a screaming/crying toddler or a kid who just. wouldn't. smile. It's OK. We all do.
I always know that the Christmas season is officially here when it's time to get our Santa photos, but with so many choices, how do you know where to get Santa photos you'll really love? I've found the perfect place which, thanks to a little HGTV magic, is a totally immersive experience that's the best way to see Santa south of the North Pole.
