Santa visits with families and tells stories, children enjoy hot chocolate and festive snacks, and there is time to pose for photos. It runs from 11 am to 1 pm on the last Saturday before Christmas, which makes it a calmer alternative to the evening Santa photo nights in the square, and it suits preschool and early elementary children. Tickets are required; Historic Philadelphia's page does not print the price. ## Similar picks in Philadelphia - [Jingle & Mingle with Santa at Franklin Square](https://grassyknees.com/philadelphia/activities/jingle-and-mingle-with-santa-at-franklin-square--listing-d51493df4ab164de4bde13c6) — Fri, Nov 27 (+4 more dates) · 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM · Franklin Square · checked Oct 24.
