Free Santa Pictures for Kids in Orange County
Thanks to Claus for a Cause and Rascals to Rebels, just bring your camera and you can take your very own photos of your kids for FREE!
Rascals to Rebels is a specialty children's boutique carrying quality fashions and accessories for your newborn baby up to your "Rebel" at size 12. They offer a convenient play area for your child while you shop. Their toy section includes books, crafts, stuffed animals and educational toys for children of all ages.
Santa will be at the Rascals to Rebels shops in Seal Beach and Huntington Beach for a few more dates this month. He’ll be in HB on the 16th, and then back to Seal Beach on the 19th (all between 3 and 5 P.M.). Expect a little bit of a line; how fast it goes depends on the kids in front of you and how long their lists are. They do have a professional photographer on hand in case you prefer to use her services. Kids also receive a small gift after the photo shoot; babies get small candy canes “for their memory books”.
While the events are totally free to the public, Santa and Mrs. Claus do accept donations, with every dollar received going toward the Breast Cancer Angels organization. So even if your kid goes totally ballistic on Santa’s lap, at least you can say that it was all for a good cause!
