Christmas in July: Meet Vacation Santa in Downtown Greer!
Aloha, Greer! Santa is Trading the North Pole for a Hawaiian Shirt this July
The summer heat is officially here in the Upstate, but we have some incredibly cool news to share. Grab your grass skirts, dust off your sunglasses, and get ready for a tropical twist on a holiday tradition—Vacation Santa is coming to Downtown Greer!
From Tuesday, July 21st through Saturday, July 25th, The Shoppes off Trade is hosting an exclusive Tropical Christmas in July Santa Portrait Session.
Yes, you read that right! Santa Claus is taking a well-deserved break from the frozen North Pole, packing his bags, and heading right to our artisan boutique. He’ll be sporting his absolute favorite vibrant Hawaiian shirt and summer vacation gear, and he can't wait to meet your family.
Feel the Summer Vibe: What to Wear!
This isn't your average, formal winter portrait session—this is a chance to let loose, get creative, and have some lighthearted summer fun. We highly encourage kids and families to lean entirely into the vacation theme!
Need some inspiration? Here are a few fun outfit ideas for your session:
-
The Tropical Luau: Coordinate in festive Hawaiian floral print shirts, tropical sundresses, or fun grass skirts.
-
Poolside Chic: Show up in bright summer shorts, sun hats, and your coolest shades.
-
The Classic Contrast: If you want a hilarious, memorable photo, dress the kids in their traditional, heavy winter holiday sweaters and velvet outfits to contrast with Santa’s beach-ready attire!
No matter what you choose to wear, it’s the perfect way to grab a unique, sun-filled memory with the big guy before he has to head back to the workshop to finish the toys.
