The Upstate Santa Experience was created for families who want something slower, more meaningful, and truly magical for their children.
Instead of rushing through a crowded line, your family is welcomed into a private one-on-one visit with Santa where your children can talk, laugh, read stories, check the naughty and nice list, and simply enjoy the wonder of Christmas.

A Personalized Christmas Experience
Every session is designed to feel personal and unforgettable. From the moment your children receive their special North Pole mail to the final artwork displayed in your home, every detail is created to preserve the magic of childhood.
Your experience includes:
- Letter from Santa in the mail
- A 30 minute private visit with Santa Claus
- Time for children to warm up and interact naturally in a kitchen and Library scene
- Storytelling and magical moments that include peering in to Santa’s gift sack, seeing their names on the nice list and event “baking” cookies with Santa.
- A custom ordering appointment to select your favorite portraits
- Heirloom artwork and storybook albums designed to last for generations
Designed For Families Who Value Memories
Children grow and change so quickly. The Upstate Santa Experience was created to preserve this season of life in a way that feels genuine, emotional, and timeless.
These are the moments your children will talk about for years.
