Meet My Magical Elves – Santa Sessions Behind the Scenes

✨🎄 A Peek Behind the Magic! 🎄✨

Every Magical Santa Session begins long before Santa arrives. From the carefully chosen details to the magic created by my elves behind the scenes, this experience is designed to feel timeless, warm, and full of wonder for children and families.

 Meet Santa's Magical Elf: Julie Jingles! 

Deep in Santa’s workshop at the North Pole, not all elves build toys. Some have very special jobs — and one of Julie Jingles’ jobs is to help Santa with our Magical Santa Sessions for families in Mars, Cranberry Township, and nearby Pittsburgh! Julie Jingles is excellent with children, but like many little elves, she gets mischievous when no one is watching. She loves cookies so much that she’ll go to great lengths to sneak one… especially Santa’s!

 Julie Jingles, the Decorating Elf

Julie Jingles, the Decorating Elf, also arrives in early September to get Santa’s Room ready, serving as my decorating extraordinaire. She tiptoes around with glittering garlands, jingling lights, and little magical touches, making sure every corner of the room meets Santa’s North Pole standards. With Julie on the job, our house — and Santa’s Room — becomes a twinkling wonderland, ready for children and families visiting from Mars, Cranberry Township, and Pittsburgh.

 Don, Santa’s Secret Story-Writing Elf

Though I’ve never met him, he quietly helps me dream up each year’s Storybook Album, helping transform magical moments into a story children can hold onto forever. The page below is one small piece of the book families cherish — a reminder that this wasn’t just a visit with Santa, but a story made just for them.

A Magical Experience for Families

With Julie Jingles and Don working behind the scenes, every Magical Santa Session is designed to delight children and create lasting memories. From decorating to storytelling, from playful antics to twinkling surprises, the North Pole magic comes alive for families visiting from Mars, Cranberry Township, and Pittsburgh.

You never know what magical moments await — and you might even meet these special elves during your own visit. Families can learn more about our Magical Santa Sessions and discover why this is not a mini session, but a fully custom Santa experience, HERE.

And don’t just take our word for it — take a moment to read our Santa Reviews and see why families return year after year.
