Not sure where the days have gone but we are behind in shopping and realized that we have yet to bring the kids to see Santa. Lucky for us there’s still a few days yet. We love the Midtown Global Market and discovered Santa’s going to make six jolly stops there. So have your kids make their list. We love to go there to eat, there’s enough variety that we can all find something. Not only can the kids visit with Santa there will be other fun activities happening.
Some Santa visits provide the opportunity for children and family members to support others in the community by participating in a variety of activities; from making crafts for others, to donating canned goods or warm winter wear. Guests will also be able to enjoy live music and participate in the Jingle Bell Parade around the Market.
These Santa visits are free and open to the public. For more information, visit the website for Midtown Global Market
