A Miracle at Big Rock Tradition

Cookies with Santa

Ten unhurried, magical minutes with Santa inside his very own house — cookies in hand, twinkle lights all around, and a professional photographer capturing every giggle.

Friday–Sunday nights, Nov 27 – Dec 20 · 5:30–8:30 pm · Sessions sell out every year — book early!

More Than a Photo — A Family Tradition

Step Inside Santa's House

This isn't a mall line with a hurried snapshot. Your family is welcomed into Santa's beautifully decorated home at Miracle at Big Rock for a private 10-minute visit — just Santa and your crew.

Kids visit with Santa in his Christmas living room, ring him on his rotary phone, help "bake" in his country kitchen, and share a warm cookie by the fire. While the giggles happen naturally, our professional photographer quietly captures it all.

Families return year after year — and with all-new sets each season, every visit feels brand new. It's the kind of tradition your kids will remember long after they stop believing.
