Santa Arrives Soon At Plymouth Meeting Mall: See His Schedule

PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA — Some of us may still have Halloween candy left, but the holiday season is coming up quickly. In fact, Santa Claus already has his schedule written for appearances at Plymouth Meeting Mall.

Kris Kringle's sleigh pulls in to the mall on November 19 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Kids and families are encouraged to wear holiday pajamas and enjoy festive entertainment activities with Santa, who will be in the Center Court.

There will be balloon twisting and "special appearances by your favorite holiday characters," the mall said.

PREIT, which owns the mall and a number of others in the South Jersey and Philly area, said there will be special festivities throughout the season including family photos with Santa, "Kringle Mingle," Black Friday giveaways, and other events of the season. There will also be opportunities to buy food, drink, and gift wrap at stations benefiting nonprofits in the community.

PREIT is also partnering this year with Cards For Hospitalized Kids, a non-profit that is spreading joy across America, a news release said.

Pets are also allowed to visit Santa on Mondays this year: "Feathered, whiskered and hooved pets are all welcome, as long as they are kept on a leash or in a crate at all times."

The "Kringle Mingle" event encourages shoppers to come dressed at Santa to get holiday freebies. This event is December 9 from 6-8 p.m. at Plymouth Meeting Mall, PREIT said.

"We partnered with our restaurants to provide free drink coupons for the whole family and we will be providing free "sleigh it" bags filled with retailer coupons, giftcards, and a chance to win a grand prize!"

All PREIT malls will be closed Thanksgiving Day and reopen on Black Friday at 7 a.m.

PREIT's area malls are Willow Grove Park Mall, Springfield Mall, Plymouth Meeting Mall, Exton Square, Cherry Hill Mall, and Moorestown Mall.
