Santa Albert’s handcrafted Magic Santa Throne may be added to qualifying reservations, subject to availability. Its colorful, festive design creates a polished setting where families, friends, coworkers, and community groups can gather around Santa for extraordinary holiday photographs and lasting memories.
The story of Santa Albert’s Magic Throne begins with cedar milled from his family property in Oregon. After the lumber was brought to California, local craftspeople used plans created by professional Santa educator Tim Connaghan to construct, carve, upholster, and hand-paint this extraordinary holiday centerpiece.
Five handmade, working nutcrackers stand guard across the top. Carved details—including Santa’s sleigh, candy canes, and the words “Santa Claus”—decorate the backboard and side posts. Artist Joy Brown created the decorative patterns and color scheme before lovingly hand-painting the throne.
Santa Albert’s Magic Throne is available as an optional enhancement to qualifying appearances, subject to availability. Its spacious design makes it ideal for individual portraits, families, coworkers, and small groups. To ask about availability and include the throne in your personalized quote, please begin your reservation.
