2023 Santa Experience

The Santa Experience | 30 Minutes

FaB is ecstatic to welcome you to our 2023 Santa Experience taking place inside our studio located at 177 Bridge Street, Phoenixville, PA 19460.  This experience is a fun and unique twist on your visit with Santa that will keep the Spirit of Christmas alive in your child's memories for years to come!

FaB is introducing longer sessions for 2023! Our signature Santa Experience sessions are a full 30 minutes with Santa Claus at our photography studio in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. Our photographer will be on hand to capture every moment you and your loved ones have with Santa during your time together. Sessions booked more than 14 days in advance will receive a letter from Santa inviting participants to visit him at the studio for their holiday photography session.

***This session includes time with Santa AND four digital downloads***

Once you arrive, Santa is ready to interact, entertain, and play with his guests! Santa will move around the holiday set and gauge each participant for different magical interactions so each experience is highly individualized.  Themed holiday props and setups will be available to enhance your session and your photographer on hand will be capturing the moments that materialize with the "man in red". Santa is also available to pose for specific photo opportunities. These sessions are completely private as the studio is booked just for you. Appointment required.

Some popular interactions with Santa include: measuring up for the naughty/nice list, building with blocks, discovering their holiday wish list together, snowball fight, setting up a dollhouse for the perfect Christmas Eve, playing pretend with hot cocoa and cookies, choosing the best ornament for the trees, reading holiday stories, fashion posing, taking "elfies", and more!

Upgraded Experiences:

If 30 minutes seems too short, you may add additional time with Santa or upgrade to add an exclusive Limited Edition Experience! These Limited Edition Experiences will change from year to year.

Here are some specifics you must know before booking your session:

• This is NOT a "sit-on-Santa's-lap-and-say-cheese" snapshot that you'd find at the mall.
• Participants will spend approximately 30 minutes with Santa and are intended for a single family ONLY. If you have a large single family (4+ people) you may consider adding additional experiences or time so everyone gets a fair amount of time with Santa.
• There are no refunds if your child is fearful to meet Santa. If you choose to book and your child shows hesitation during the experience, we can spend time trying to get a photo with Santa or we can ask Santa to take a "milk and cookies break" and get some photos without Santa on our 2023 Holiday Set. Ten minutes can go very quickly. Other Santa Experiences recommend ages 4+, though our recommendation is that you know your child the best. If they are afraid to meet costumed characters at theme parks, they may have some hesitation to meet Santa.

Other Details: 

• Images will be made available for viewing in an online gallery or you may make an appointment to come back to our studio to view and select your images. Online galleries are live for a limited time. Studio viewing appointments are strongly suggested for all products needing deliver prior to Christmas.
• Wall Art and Album Holiday orders are not guaranteed for Christmas 2023 Delivery. 
• You will receive your digital download within 1 week of your final product order. All other products delivery times (unless noted) are TBD and may arrive after the Christmas holidays.
