A Santa hat and a candy cane are all you need for a super sweet photo. Set your baby in front of a white background facing backwards wearing nothing but a diaper and Santa hat. Have your child look at you over his shoulder will eating his candy cane. You can add background effects like bokeh twinkly lights afterward.

Sparkling Lights
Set your little one on the floor in a dark room. Toss some white lights in front of him or her to light up the room. Add a Santa Hat for some festive cheer.

T’was the Night Before Christmas
The pj’s in bed scene is super easy to recreate and looks so cute! If you have siblings, have them reading a Christmas book together.
