Santa at the Mall with Your Kids and Pet, Plus One Warm Coat Drive

Getting ready for the holidays can be a busy and stressful time, but that’s no reason not to make time for some fun.

If you have kids and celebrate Christmas, the closest place to have them meet Santa is at the Hillsdale Shopping Center, where Santa be taking up residence at the mall starting this weekend.

Now if you'd like to take a pet photos with Santa, you can even do that too! Bring your pets to the Hillsdale Shopping Center on Wednesdays and Sundays from 5 – 8 PM to pose for photos with Santa.

While you’re at the mall, donate a clean jacket, coat or raincoat to the One Warm Coat Drive. This awesome organization was started in San Francisco in 1992, and now is part of a national effort to provide outerwear to those in need. Coats collected at the Hillsdale Shopping Center and at Samaritan House will be donated to those in need around the community. To learn more about One Warm Coat and how you can help, click here.
