Cowboy Kringle is back in Historic Gruene, ready to spread holiday cheer with festive photo sessions for families, kids, and even pets. This beloved Gruene tradition offers a charming Texas twist on holiday photos, featuring the iconic Cowboy Kringle — a Santa with western flair — set against the backdrop of the historic district’s rustic charm.
Photo sessions take place in the breezeway between The Grapevine and Gruene General Store on select weekends from November 8 through December 21, 2025. All visits are by appointment only, booked online in advance. Guests are asked to arrive no more than 15 minutes before their scheduled session to help keep the line moving smoothly.
Parents of small children are encouraged to bring a booster or car seat for use in the sleigh, and guests can bring props like hats, antlers, or festive headbands for added fun.
