Anderline Arts Playhouse

Magic of Santa®

Now in Historic Downtown Weston

This season, The Magic of Santa® welcomes you to an extraordinary new setting—the Anderlin Arts Playhouse in Weston, Texas. Nestled inside a beautifully restored 100-year-old schoolhouse, this intimate space captures the nostalgia and charm of a bygone era, perfectly suited for the artistry and wonder that define our experience.

 

Step into Santa’s storybook world for a private, 45-minute fine art portrait session where imagination, storytelling, and craftsmanship come together to create memories that feel both timeless and deeply personal. Each interaction is carefully designed to evoke joy, connection, and the spirit of Christmas—beautifully preserved through artwork destined to become part of your family’s legacy.

 

(Our beloved Santa on the Square experience will continue in downtown McKinney.)

45-Minute Private Santa Experience

The Magic of Santa® is more than a portrait session—it’s an immersive fine art experience where imagination and artistry intertwine to create the story of your family’s Christmas.

Inside Santa’s North Pole home, your family will share over twenty handcrafted moments—reading stories, checking the Naughty & Nice List, sharing milk and cookies, and even flying the Magic Sled. Each interaction is beautifully directed and illuminated to evoke laughter, wonder, and genuine connection, capturing portraits that transcend photography and become works of art.

Every scene is intentionally designed to celebrate your family’s spirit and create timeless heirloom imagery worthy of display for generations.

Your Private Design Consultation

A few days after your session, you’ll return for a private design consultation—an intimate viewing where you’ll see your unedited portraits for the first time. Guided by our studio team, you’ll select the images that speak most to you and begin designing a fine art collection tailored to your home and style. Each piece is then artistically refined and hand-finished, ensuring your final artwork embodies the warmth and elegance of your Magic of Santa® experience.

The Nation's Premier Santa Portrait Experience

 A Legacy of Artistry and Imagination

For more than a decade, Magic Makers Studio has been celebrated for its distinctive artistry—often compared to the timeless storytelling of Norman Rockwell. Each Magic of Santa® session is a meticulously directed, 45-minute fine art experience, blending over twenty magical interactions with the mastery of studio lighting and composition that has earned international recognition.

 

Every portrait collection is a study in emotion and craftsmanship—resulting in imagery that transcends photography and becomes a treasured piece of your family’s holiday legacy.

 

Your session culminates in a curated presentation of internationally award-winning imagery, available as framed gallery art, handcrafted albums, bespoke Christmas cards, and exquisite keepsakes.

 

Families who purchase one of our signature storybooks will also receive a complimentary Children’s Storybook, a treasured gift designed for little hands. Inspired by the nostalgic charm of the Golden Books, it mirrors your family’s session story—allowing your children to relive the enchantment of their visit with Santa while your heirloom album remains beautifully preserved for generations to come.

 

At Magic Makers Studio, every portrait is more than an image—it’s a legacy, hand-crafted with intention, emotion, and timeless artistry to honor your family and the enduring magic of Christmas.
