One of my favorite parts of the 2024 Santa Experience was creating the Custom Santa Nice List Certificates Canton GA that each child received. These certificates were a brand-new addition this year, and I wanted them to feel magical, personal, and completely authentic—something families would want to keep forever.

I created these certificates entirely from scratch. I designed the layout, chose the fonts, selected the colors, and wrote the wording. Everything was intentional. I didn’t want something that looked like a print-at-home template. I wanted something that felt real.

Once the design was finished, I added each child’s first and last name by hand. No two certificates were the same. Every one was customized specifically for the kid who received it, and that personal touch made them even more meaningful.

Finding the perfect paper was a big part of this process too. I searched for something that felt thick, textured, and old-fashioned—something Santa himself might use. When I finally found the right one, I knew it was the perfect match. That deckled edge just makes my heart happy!
After printing each certificate individually, I added a wax seal by hand. This step took time, but it was worth every second. The seal made the certificates feel official and added a beautiful finishing touch. Parents told me their kids held onto them all day, showing them off to anyone who would look.

These Custom Santa Nice List Certificates Canton GA became one of the most talked-about parts of the Santa Experience this year. They weren’t just a prop. They became keepsakes.
I loved watching kids’ faces light up when Santa handed them their personalized certificate. Some looked surprised, some looked proud and some hugged it like it was the best thing in the world. That reaction made every step of the process worth it.
I always want my Santa sessions to feel special, thoughtful, and full of Christmas joy. Adding the Nice List Certificates this year was one of the sweetest touches yet, and I’m so glad families loved them as much as I loved making them.
