Join us for a Christmas photo session with Santa’s favorite mini horse. A portion of profits benefits the North Carolina Therapeutic Riding Center.
December 5, 2026
The Santa Experience is more than a photo, it’s a magical memory in the making! Skip the noisy mall and join us in our cozy Mebane studio for a private 25-minute session with Santa Michael Ellington. Your child can ask questions, help “make toys,” and a few pages from a classic Christmas story.
