Then, this year, Santa Claus is back at Memorial City Mall to meet the kiddos and take pictures with the whole family through the holidays. You can reserve a spot at this link, and be sure to check it out before December 7 to get special early bird savings.
Similarly, every Monday through December 20, bring your pets to Memorial City Mall to take pictures with Santa Claus. Make a reservation at this link. Your pets must be on leashes or in carriers, and you must be in control of the animal and have proof of its current tags and shots.
Santa Claus is coming to town a little early at CITYCENTRE, too. This year, he will be at Holiday in the Plaza presented by Sewell Cadillac from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, November 27. He will ring in the festive season and pose for pictures, too. Plus, he will arrive in a Sewell Cadillac that guests can help fill with donations of new, unwrapped toys to The Salvation Army. When you donate, you will get a chance to take a complimentary picture with the man in red himself.
Then, throughout December, you can check out the beautiful Singing Trees near Urban Outfitters, Fellini, and Paper Source. These unique trees have become an annual holiday spectacle, as the lights react to sound and make a wintry wonderland right here in the Memorial District. Check CITYCENTRE's website for special dates and times of light shows that blend with live music.
iTri Events' 10th Annual Rudolph Fun Run benefiting Firefighters Helping Firefighters will be at CITYCENTRE on Saturday, December 11.

Plus, take pictures with Santa Claus at the event as well.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., you can ring in the new year with Noon Year's Eve, a family-friendly activity in the Plaza at CITYCENTRE. A DJ will play the dance hits to give you a fun soundtrack for all the child-friendly activities, such as face painting, balloon artistry, and more.
Have fun during the official countdown to 2022 on New Year's Eve on Friday, December 31, at CITYCENTRE. The party starts at 9:30 p.m. in the Plaza, where there will be a concert to rock and roll you into the new year. Then, set a New Year's resolution and count down with a one-minute fireworks show.
