The Santa Experience
The Effortless Affair invites everyone to create lasting memories this holiday season at The Santa Experience. The Santa Experience, an annual charitable celebration, gives children the opportunity to craft and have a hot cocoa with Santa one on one. This is a great way for children to ease into meeting Santa before sitting on his lap for a photo.
This magical experience includes:
One-on-One Crafting with Santa: Children will join Santa in his workshop as he helps them create their very own ornament and holiday picture frame to take home. Feel free to take photos of this moment. Smocks will be provided for the craft.
Photo with Santa: All children will get a personal photo with Santa in Santa’s Wonderland.
North Pole Mailing Center: Children will have the opportunity to write a letter to Santa. All letters will receive a personalized response back from Santa in a few days.
Light Refreshments: Special sweets from local bakery Willow & Olivia will be provided, plus a hot chocolate bar and coffee bar for parents.
