Listen for jingling sleigh bells and a jolly, magical laugh, as Santa Claus is coming to The Shops at Montebello to share the spirit of the holiday season. Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE:SPG), a leading global retail real estate company, invites Los Angeles-area kids and parents to join Simon Kidgits Club® in celebrating Santa’s arrival during The Shops at Montebello’s special Santa Saturday event on Saturday, November 16.

To get families immersed in the wonders of Kris Kringle, the mall will bring Santa Saturday to life with several activities. In celebration of the iconic figure’s grand arrival, children can participate in a holiday arts and crafts session from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in Center Court, with face painting and Radio Disney providing entertainment starting at 10 a.m. At 9:15 a.m., Santa will make his big entrance into the mall and lead little ones to The Children’s Place during a jingle bell parade. After Santa completes his merry march, families can experience a cherished holiday tradition. Children will have the chance to sit on Santa’s lap, share their holiday wishes and pose for a treasured photo with him at his winter wonderland on the lower level in Center Court, near Macy’s Home. During the holiday season, children can be photographed with Santa from now until December 24.
