It’s the picture you hope will last a lifetime, but what happens when it all goes horribly wrong…

Getting a photo with Santa is a memory most parents hope they will treasure long after their children are grown up. The combination of children, cameras, crowds and a strange man dressed in a red suit isn’t always a winner though. Here are some of our favourite Santa photo fails that we’re sure will end up hidden in the family album.

One Out Of Three Ain’t Bad

This family should just be happy at least one of their children got the memo that Christmas is meant to be a happy time of the year…

Santa Is So Done

This Santa is so over screaming children sitting on his knee that he doesn’t even try to smile for the camera. It must have been a long day…

Making A Run For It

This kid has had enough of the whole photo taking process and decided to make a run for it instead. His brother’s face really does say it all…

 The Ultimate Revenge

This little girl got the ultimate revenge on her parents by selecting a rather inappropriate gesture for her photo. At least her twin sister thinks it’s funny?

  • Classic!! I’m not a fan of posed photos ever. I get why people do it for Xmas and memories – but I think the so called ‘failures’ are actually the best! Shows kids personalities and will definitely be more memorable than any standard Santa photo.

  • I still have a photo of my baby brother with Santa. My best friend and I took him to have a photo taken but he just kept screaming. In the end I stood next to Santa and my friend Edna sat on the edge of the dais holding my brother. We forgot he had a pacifier but just as the photo was taken he put his hand over his mouth. It was a good cover up but my bro hates it.
