One of this year’s Santa listings is free: Pictures with Santa at A Merry Mauldin Christmas. Bring your own camera where the listing says so.
Of the breakfasts and brunches with posted 2026 prices, the lowest are Breakfast with Santa in Mauldin ($7 adults, $5 children); Brunch with Santa at UP on the Roof (Order from the brunch menu; Santa photo session $10 with two or more brunch entrées, $25 without); Breakfast with Santa & the Animals ($20; ages 2 and under free). Prices are from each venue’s own page.
Babies and young toddlers get in free at Breakfast with Santa & the Animals (ages 2 and under free); Brunch with Santa & the Animals (ages 2 and under free). To skip a long line with a toddler, look at reserved or timed visits: Brunch with Santa & the Animals, Brunch with Santa at UP on the Roof and Santa Photos at Haywood Mall. A morning visit before nap usually goes better than an evening one.
Five listings start in the morning, including Breakfast with Santa & the Animals, Brunch with Santa at UP on the Roof and Santa at the Greenville Christmas Market. Two are evening visits (5 p.m. or later), which work best on a late-nap day.
Santa Photos at Haywood Mall: Sensory-friendly session (Caring Santa): Sun Dec 6 8:30–10:30 a.m.; reduced lights and music, smaller crowds, advance registration required, no purchase required to book.
Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page, and links to it. We list dates, times and prices only when that page shows them for 2026; anything without posted dates goes in “Dates not posted yet” instead. These were last checked Oct 19, 2026, and we recheck them in early November and again in early December. How we choose and check.
