Santa Claus Returns To The Cherry Hill Mall Saturday

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Santa Claus will arrive at the Cherry Hill Mall Saturday, and the mall is throwing a holiday celebration.

Santa will arrive at the mall's grand court by firetruck at 10 a.m. Rudolph, Frosty, Buddy, the Elf, and the RockNRoll Chorus will welcome Santa with holiday songs, crafts, face painter, magic, and more. The vendor showcase presented by Wright-Way Productions will feature various local businesses.

Santa Claus will stick around the mall until Dec. 24, when he heads home for the busiest night of his year. While at the mall, he will listen to every child’s Christmas wish. Residents can capture their holiday memories and create a magical experience with their loved ones. Reservations to have photos taken with Santa are encouraged, but not required. Reservations can be booked at cherryhillmall.com.

Residents are also invited to bring their pets to see Santa Claus on Mondays, from Nov. 8 through Dec. 20. Feathered, whiskered, and hooved pets are also welcome — Santa has met dogs, cats, chickens, and even goats over the years. Pets may join as long as they are kept on a leash or in a crate at all times.

Santa will again be bringing his friends for extra special photo ops on Tuesdays from Nov. 23 through Dec. 14, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. To learn which characters are visiting, visit cherryhillmall.com.

Children with autism and other special needs can visit Santa on Dec. 12, 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., for a sensory-friendly experience. Lights will be down, and sounds will be brought to a minimum, so children can safely and happily visit Santa. The event will take place before the mall opens for the day.
