Where To See Santa In The Marblehead Area This Christmas Season

MARBLEHEAD, MA — Visits and pictures with Santa are treasured traditions for many Marblehead families.

For them, there’s nothing quite like seeing jolly old St. Nick live and in person.

In the Marblehead area, kids have several chances:

Northshore Mall, Peabody

Santa Claus will be at the lower level near the Nordstrom Wing starting Friday through Christmas Eve on Mondays through Saturdays — except Thanksgiving — from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.

There will be a Caring Santa Day for sensory-friendly private photo experiences on Dec. 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Santa will also be posing for pet photos on Dec. 10 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Reservations are encouraged.

Santa also arrived on Nov. 5 at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Santa’s Wonderland and will hold court through Christmas Eve. Reservations are encouraged.

Any venues or community events that are hosting events where the public can come and visit Santa Claus this holiday season are encouraged to email that information to scott.souza@patch.com for inclusion in this post.
