   Are Santa photo reservations open for Market Street already? Back when we lived inside the loop, if you did not lock in your Santa slot by late summer you were stuck fighting for parking at the Galleria on Christmas Eve Eve. Trying to map out our holiday schedule early this year before all the decent weekend times get snatched up. Does anyone know if they are doing online reservations again this year or allowing walk ups?

   They usually set up online photo appointments leading up to Christmas Eve. We always try to book early in the season before the weekend lines get out of hand with the kids.

   It's always baseball season.

   On November 20, 2026, they start the annual holiday photo sessions with Santa Claus at Market Street in Town Center, running through December 24. 1. Online appointments are standard for arranging slots ahead of time. 2. Weekend walk ups are unpredictable.

   Measure twice, call once.

   Market Street photos are fine if you want to deal with Town Center traffic (and playing garage gymnastics on a Saturday). We just take our family photos up in Conroe where you are not competing with half of Spring for a spot.

   Cheaper taxes, longer drive.

   If you try to go on a Saturday in December, parking at Market Street is going to test your patience anyway. Securing an appointment time online for late November before the shopping crowd peaks is the only smart move.

   My main concern with booking early is always how the reservation system handles timing conflicts. A few things I like to check before reserving: 1. Are appointment times strictly held if traffic on Woodlands Parkway delays you? 2. Do they allow you to pick photo packages online during booking or at the booth?

   We took our grandkids to the Market Street location last season. The sessions run right through Christmas Eve starting November 20, and arranging the photo appointment online beforehand saved us a lot of headache.
