‘Tis the season for Santa Claus! On Friday, November 21 at 10 a.m., straight from the North Pole, the right jolly old elf will arrive at Vista Ridge Mall and settle into his Big Vista Lodge, where he’ll be ready for all his little fans to come and visit. Visitors young and old are invited to stop in, say hello and whisper a few secret wishes in his ear. He’s bringing some of his elves, too and the crew will be ready to take commemorative photos of the moment.

Santa will welcome guests beginning Friday, November 21 at 10 a.m. through Wednesday, December 24 at 5 p.m., when he’ll whisk away for his gift deliveries. Santa is available during mall hours. He does take breaks during the day to check in with the North Pole, and visitors should check www.vistaridgemall.com for his schedule. Photo prices begin at $22.99. The Big Vista Lodge is located on the lower level near Dillard’s.
