Children’s Photos with Santa is a free holiday photo session for kids at North Star Christmas Company, a year-round Christmas store on Historic Commercial Street in Springfield, Missouri. Children sit with Santa for a picture, and there is no charge for the session.
The store is already full of decorated trees, ornaments, and Springfield keepsakes, so the backdrop comes built in. The sitting is short and unhurried, easy to fold into an afternoon of walking the district’s historic storefronts and locally owned shops.
Families looking for free Santa photos in Springfield will find a small, neighborhood version of the mall tradition here, with no line stretching across a concourse and no sitting fee at the end.
Dress the kids however feels right and bring the camera-shy ones too.
