Here Comes Santa: Well, he's already at Philly malls

Monday, November 5, 2018

Santa Claus is already in town at malls. Tamala Edwards reports during Action News Mornings on November 5, 2018.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Not 24 hours after the last trick-or-treater rang the doorbell for a fun-size Snickers, companies began airing their holiday commercials.

The talk of Black Friday deals is in full swing and Christmas songs are playing on the radio. Of course, one classic is 'Here Comes Santa Claus.'

That songs depicts ol' St. Nick making his way on Christmas Eve, but in the Delaware Valley, you don't have to wait that long to see him!

In fact, Santa has already arrived at area malls and is scheduled to be at most others within the next two weeks.

If you want to make sure your little one gets a spot to see the jolly guy, you can sign up for photo sessions online for a majority of his mall visits.

Here's a list of where and when you can find Mr. Claus (and, yes, we've checked it twice). The date, unless otherwise noted, means the first day of his appearances at that location.
