What to Expect at Cool Yule™
Not Your Average Family Holiday Photo Shoot
If you’ve attended Cool Yule™ in the past, you know that it is unlike any family holiday photo session you have had before. We pride ourselves in making your time with us at Cool Yule™ a true holiday experience.
This year, we are offering TWO types of Cool Yule experiences – a day on the Tree Farm and the hometown Christmas feel of Cool Yule™ in Skippack Village. At both locations, you will experience all the same holiday joy and spirit your have come to cherish and THIS YEAR YOU WILL also find some fun, new elevated set experiences. This year you can expect smaller crowds, 1-on-1 time with Santa, and a peaceful night out in the village. Your kids can write letters to Santa, take home crafts, and even snuggle up to a live reindeer!
We can’t wait to share all of the Christmas Magic with you!
As a Mom of 4, here is what I know about the holidays…
They. Are. Stressful.
THERE, I said it… the holidays are so SO stressful, they are crazy busy, and there are a million things to get done in just a few short weeks
And, in the middle of it all, YOU are supposed to create and also enjoy the magic of the season …
It’s a tall order. Lets be real, life with kids is crazy on a normal day!
Cool Yule is different.
Cool Yule was born after YEARS of wrangling my own kids to the mall to see Santa, then going elsewhere for family holiday photos, then another for Christmas crafts and kid-friendly fun to reward them for enduring all the “magic”.
Cool Yule is everything I dreamed a Christmas event should be and more for YOU and your kids! Things like…
✔️ Kids laughing, crafting, and writing letters to the big guy
✔️ Family’s getting in the Christmas spirit
✔️ Mom and Dad’s faces lighting up as they witness Christmas through the eyes of their children
✔️ Spending a cool winter night out with family & friends
✔️ The whole family enjoying a day full of holiday festivities TOGETHER
But don’t just take our word for it. Listen to what others have to say about their Cool Yule experience…
“I’ve had tons of experience with Christmas photos at the mall. I worked there for years and I’ve taken my son and nieces to plenty of photo shoots around Christmas. All you do at those places is wait wait wait. By the time it’s your turn the kids are miserable. It was well organized, there were things to keep the kids busy and the staff was great. And the best part is I loved my photos! Overall a great experience.”
“We loved it and will be recommending it to everyone we know!”
“It’s such a great experience for my kids and they just LOVE Santa!! From the little art projects to the decor it was just so special!”
“Santa is the best I have ever seen. I loved the event and thank you so much for the experience.”
“I loved how organized the event was and that you got a time slot, that way you’re not waiting around with a screaming child. Santa was incredible and the photographer knew exactly how to get my babies’ attention. All around a great experience!”
“I look forward to this event every year!”
Stop torturing yourself in mall lines at Christmastime.
