Santa Claus arrives at University Park Mall on Thursday, Nov. 18. That’s when Saint Nick gets to meet with kids and have pictures taken.

The mall says reservations are encouraged.

Families can choose to either sit with Santa or maintain social distance.

Don’t worry, Santa’s elves and helpers will be masked up. The mall is also hosting Breakfast with Santa, from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., on Saturday, Dec. 11.

Also, Santa will be able to take pictures with your pets from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., on Monday, Dec. 13.
