Photos with Santa are a time-honoured tradition for many families, including my own. It’s like a walk down memory lane to see your children grow up before your very eyes in those yearly Santa photos. Since COVID, times have changed visiting with Santa. Many locations request that you reserve ahead of time, and some have moved from middle-of-the-mall to a more private studio-like option.<\/p>\n

Here are some of our favourite Santas for 2023:<\/p>\n

\"CapilanoPhotos with Santa at Capilano Mall\u00a0<\/a><\/h2>\n

Santa\u2019s Wizarding Wonderland welcomes the young and old to an enchanting event sure to sweep you off your feet. From November 25-December 24, 2023, Santa will be on hand to meet with his fans and hear their holiday wishes. Don your favourite holiday apparel or come in your cute Christmas jammies to capture this moment in time. After their chat with Santa, children will receive a Santa toy wand as a memento of their special time connecting with the big man in red. Santa toy wands are only available while supplies last, so make sure to get those photos booked early to ensure your kids get their wishes in early. Walk-ins are welcome on a first-come, first-served basis, or reserve your date and time to ensure you skip the line!<\/p>\n
