The Edwin Standard
The Magic of Santa® has always been built around something more than creating beautiful Christmas portraits. We give children the time and space to truly believe, preserve the real moments that happen, and create finished artwork your family can hold, display and pass down.
Because the magic shouldn't end when the session does.
It should become part of your family's story.
“Beautiful Artwork to be enjoyed and cherished for generations!”
“It was a wonderful experience… my moody 17 year old daughter had a good time despite her self… Top notch product and service all the way around.”
“Thank You so much Chris for sharing your gift with us.”
Meet Our Santas
Each of our Santas brings his own spirit, personality and style to The Magic of Santa®. Their stories are different, but they share one heartfelt mission: a magical, meaningful experience where every child feels seen, heard and truly believed in.
Discover the Santa who feels like family.
Each Santa keeps his own calendar. If you don’t see your date, check the others.

First Christmas
For over a decade, The Magic of Santa® has been part of Christmas for families across North Texas, McKinney, Frisco, Celina, Prosper, Melissa, Anna, setting the standard for Santa experiences nationwide. For many families, that first visit becomes the tradition that defines Christmas.
Every Christmas After
Each visit adds a new chapter: a little taller, a little braver, still believing. Together, those years become the story of their childhood and a collection your family will treasure for generations.
A Magic of Santa® Tradition
Years ago, Magic of Santa® founder Chris Fritchie started a quiet tradition to thank the community that made Santa part of their family's Christmas. It's a tradition we're proud to carry on.
When a family is facing a Christmas that won't look like the others, we invite them in at no cost. The full experience with Santa, wall art for their home, an album, and digital files to share with everyone who loves them. No catch. Just a chance to hold on to a moment when life feels the way it should.
One of the families Chris photographed shared their story with CBS 11.
Know a Family?
The families who need this most rarely ask. If you know someone whose Christmas will be heavier than it should be, a serious illness, a recent loss, a season that's simply too much, tell us about them.
