Cookies with Santa

Join us at The Market at 7th Street for Cookies with Santa—a cozy, family-friendly experience filled with sweet treats, festive photos, and plenty of holiday cheer. 

Little ones can share their holiday wishes with Santa, pose for a professionally captured photo, and enjoy a homemade cookie and a delicious cup of rich hot cocoa. 

Make a whole evening of it! After Cookies with Santa, head just two blocks over to the Thanksgiving Eve Parade, a free community tradition filled with holiday spirit. Before the parade, grab dinner from one of The Market’s locally owned eateries and enjoy a taste of Charlotte’s small business community. 

Each Cookies with Santa ticket includes: 

• 🎅 A special meet-and-greet with Santa Claus 

• 📸 One professional photo with Santa to capture the holiday magic 

• 🍪 One hearty cookie and a cup of hot cocoa, handcrafted from our friends at Not Just Coffee 

Start your holiday traditions at The Market. Cookies with Santa is the sweetest way to kick off the holiday season!

• Cookies with Santa tickets do not include a seat to the Novant Health Thanksgiving Eve Parade. This is a separate pre-event before the parade begins.
