MainPlace Mall, a three-story super-regional shopping center in Santa Ana, California, invites the community to a very special Santa’s arrival celebration on Friday, November 18th, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The event features a party-like atmosphere with a live DJ playing upbeat holiday favorites, a face painter, balloon twister and candy bar.
Children attending the event will receive a free elf headband as well as a free elf-themed coloring sheet and crayons (while supplies last).
Immediately after Santa arrives, he will take his seat in the center’s elaborate “The Elf on the Shelf: Santa’s Magical Photo Adventure” home located in Macy’s Court and begin hearing children’s wish lists and taking professional keepsake photos with children and their families.
This event is free of charge and open to the public; no pre-registration is required.
For photo sessions with Santa, walk-ups will be accommodated on a case-by-case basis, but reservations are strongly encouraged.
Santa photo packages range from $39.99 to $49.99. Guests making an advance reservation will receive one free personalized phone call from Santa before their visit.
Those purchasing a photo package online or in person will also receive a free personalized video from the North Pole after their visit.
