Santa's Village

Join us at the Salt Lake Family Christmas Gift Show for a magical holiday experience like no other! Bring your wish lists and festive spirit as Santa Claus himself makes a special appearance (all thanks to Evergreen Softtub & Sauna!), ready to listen to your Christmas wishes and pose for cherished photos taken by his professional elves. Capture the joy of the season with a memorable picture and, if you're lucky, you might even get to stroll around the event with Santa! Don't miss this enchanting opportunity to create lasting memories and immerse yourself in the holiday cheer at the Salt Lake Family Christmas Gift Show.

We’re thrilled to welcome back professional photographer Tom Haseltine for this year’s Show! Tom will be on-site capturing magical moments with Santa in a beautifully staged holiday setting—perfect for family keepsakes or festive cards. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase professional-quality portraits that will be treasured for years to come. Pricing and package details can be found here.

Santa is so excited to take pictures with all of you at the show and hear what you want for Christmas. The ho ho health and safety of our exhibitors, staff and guests is our top priority. To keep all of our guests, as well as Santa Claus himself safe, while at the show, we are no longer able to permit guests to sit on Santa’s lap. Don’t worry! You may sit or stand next to him for your photos or videos.
