Santa Mark in Texas

We had so much fun tonight on a carriage ride with Cowgirl Carriages, LLC through the City of Windcrest to see the lights! If you’ve been through Windcrest this year, which display is your favorite?

Sad post ahead...

Hi! My name is Erica and I'm pictured here with Santa Mark and my daughters, Ellie and Addy. I've spoken with many of the photographers, event and daycare coordinators, and the home visit families while planning out Santa Mark's schedule throughout the years. I'm posting to share that this season may be Santa Mark's last season and I would love to create a memory book for him. Although he's only had a page for 5 years, Santa Mark has been a Santa for more than 10 years now. We would love to include photos and messages from you of your visits in this memory book. If you would like to be included in this project for him, please send us the message and image(s) to [email protected]. We'll be accepting submissions for the memory book through the end of January 2024.

Thank you for all of your support and love for Santa Mark! We'll know sometime in July if he will be able to continue in 2024, so keep following the page to get updates.

If you’re regretting that you missed out on the last chance for a mini photo session with Santa Mark, you’re in luck! Stills for Thrills reached out and got Santa Mark on the schedule for 12/9/23. Head to her page for info and to book!

This weekend is the last chance for mini photo sessions with Santa Mark! Two talented photographers are scheduled for this weekend and have gorgeous sets planned. Don't miss out!

Frame Time Photography has sessions on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Her set is in a custom built white greenhouse. Message her for details and pricing.

Jarin Brooke Photography has a few spaces open on Sunday afternoon. Her set is outdoors with a vintage red truck. Message her for details and pricing. She's also offered that if you mention you were referred by Santa Mark, she has a special discount available.

Skip the lines with a mall Santa and have your photos taken with Santa Mark! The talented photographers listed below still have spots left for their mini sessions throughout the month of November.

🎅Attention Photographers and Event Planners🎅

Santa's first visitor of 2023 was not happy when he found out there's a whole 12 months until it's Christmas again🤣

Happy 2023! We're going to try and make some improvements to the booking process. Look for a post in July announcing the calendar is open for booking visits in October, November, and December. 🎅

Our safety protocols are for everyone who enters our campus. Even Santa has to show his ID.

Volunteering at an elementary school for a PTO fundraiser is exhausting, but worth it 🤪
