Cherry Hill Programs Announces 2025 Santa Photo Reservations Are Now Open on whereissanta.com in Celebration of Christmas in July — Guests Encouraged to Book Early

July 25, 2025. Marlton, New Jersey — It may be the height of summer, but for Cherry Hill Programs (CHP) — the industry leader in experiential holiday photography — there’s no better time to plan for one of the season’s most cherished family traditions.

Santa photo reservations for the 2025 season are now officially open at whereissanta.com, giving families the chance to secure their preferred photo session dates well before the holiday rush.

"Booking your Santa photos early not only gives families more flexibility and availability but also helps make the experience stress-free and truly magical," said Chris Landtroop, Vice President of Marketing and Communications of Cherry Hill Programs. "Christmas in July is the perfect time to plan ahead and ensure that capturing those treasured holiday memories remains at the top of everyone’s list this season."

Why Book Now?
Santa photo sessions are in high demand—especially on weekends and as Christmas approaches. By booking early, families can:

  • Choose the most convenient time for their schedule
  • Avoid long wait times by selecting off-peak sessions (early season visits)
  • Secure a spot at their preferred location before popular dates fill up

A Stress-Free Holiday Season
With school events, shopping, and holiday gatherings filling up the calendar, scheduling Santa photos in advance allows families to check one major item off their list early. Early booking also gives families plenty of time to plan outfits, select holiday card designs, and create personalized Christmas gifts from their Santa photo keepsakes.

Cherry Hill Programs offers a wide variety of Santa photo experiences to meet the unique needs of every family, including:

  • Baby’s First photo opportunities
  • Sensory-friendly Santa visits
  • Pet-friendly Santa experiences
  • Cowboy Claus Santa photo events
  • Themed holiday backdrops and seasonal settings

Special events including Pet Parties, Santa Cares and Cowboy Claus open for booking on whereissanta.com on October 1, 2025.

Creating Holiday Magic for Little Ones
A thoughtfully planned Santa visit helps create a more relaxed, whimsical experience for everyone of all ages — especially for younger guests. Scheduling around nap times and preparing ahead of time ensures that little ones can fully enjoy their visit with Santa.

Reservations Are Now Open
Families and friends can now visit whereissanta.com to explore locations and reserve their 2025 Santa photo session, with photo experiences beginning this November.
