Santa Claus Returns To RI Malls For Holiday Season

RHODE ISLAND — Before Santa Claus can make his list — and check it twice — this holiday season, he has to find out what the children want for Christmas.

Families looking to share that information with Jolly Old Saint Nick can do so at malls across Massachusetts. Santa will be meeting all the good little boys and girls — and, at select times, their pets — through Christmas Eve.

Hours vary for a visit with Santa, and reservations are encouraged at certain locations. Make Santa reservations today by clicking the links below.
