Your baby may not remember their first Christmas, but you will—so why not capture the magic of the season forever with memorable photos?

If you have a baby, we know you're already taking approximately 45,000 photos of them every day anyway. This is why we've compiled the cutest (and easiest) ways to capture the holiday spirit with your little one.

These creative photo ideas will give you plenty of ways to cherish your baby's first Christmas forever.

1. Santa baby

Who could resist a baby in a Santa hat, or better yet, full-on St. Nick garb?

2. With lights

Bring the holiday magic to your photo with twinkle lights.

3. As a reindeer

Cute enough to guide Santa's sleigh tonight.

4. By the tree

This could become an annual tradition—documenting how the baby changes as grows as the tree stays the same.

5. With a letterboard

Add a clever saying to help make the memories extra special or extra funny.

6. In festive pajamas

Because you'll never get to buy them a pair of pajamas this small again.

(Bonus points for a matching big sibling set!)

7. On Santa's lap

Hopefully your baby likes Santa more than this little guy does!

8. Stuffed in a stocking

Because they'll never, ever fit inside a stocking again. 😭
