STRONGSVILLE, Ohio — Santa Claus is getting an early start on the Christmas season as he returns to SouthPark Mall in Strongsville for his first appearance on Friday.
Santa will be welcomed to the mall at noon at the Cinemark Court. Photos at the Center Court clock tower will begin around 1 p.m.
Reservations to meet Santa are recommended, which can be made HERE. Mall officials say walk-ins will be available in between guests who have reservations.
Various health and safety protocols will be in place amid ongoing COVID concerns, which include increased disinfecting and sanitation stations.
Santa’s arrival at SouthPark Mall comes with just 43 days remaining until Christmas. Last Friday, Majic 105.7 kicked off their holiday hits by flipping the switch to Christmas music with the help of 3News’ Hollie Strano.
