Pajama Party with Santa
This is one time the kids won’t have to go straight to bed when they’re told to put on their PJs because Santa is coming.
Northgate Mall’s Pajama Party With Santa is scheduled Friday, Nov. 11. This will be Santa’s first appearance at the Hixson mall, 271 Northgate Mall Drive. He’ll be there daily (except Thanksgiving Day) through Christmas Eve.
There are three time slots available for Friday’s Pajama Party. The general-admission experience is offered twice: from noon to 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 to 8 p.m. The VIP party is from 4 to 5:30 p.m.
General admission includes a commemorative pillowcase, cookie decorating with Great American Cookie Co., ornament making, storytime with Santa and a flurry of other holiday activities spread throughout the mall. Cost is $12 for children, free for adults.
VIP admission includes all of the general-admission activities, plus a full dinner with Santa and Mrs. Claus and an autographed copy of the book Santa reads. Cost is $30 for children and $10 for adults.
All proceeds will go to the family advocacy nonprofit First Things First. Find a link to buy tickets at www.firstthings.org or www.visitnorthgatemall. com. Or call First Things First at 423-267-5383.
