My kids, like most, love Christmas and love Santa. They’ve already written letters and drawn tons of pictures for the big guy and have debated over exactly what kind of cookies Santa will most appreciate on Christmas Eve (I think they’ve decided on fresh baked chocolate chip). They also look forward to seeing Santa whenever we head out to go shopping or attend various holiday parties. Interestingly enough, while they love catching a glimpse of him from afar, they’ve never been keen on posing for pictures with Santa. So I try to find places and events where they can marvel from afar without getting too close for comfort.
There are several places to visit Santa all season long throughout Westchester and we’ve rounded them up for you here. So if you’re looking for a photo op for your little ones (and your pets!), these Santa sightings are sure to delight you and your little ones this holiday season. There are also many Breakfast with Santa events happening around town.
If you're looking fore more holiday activities, check out our coverage on holiday tree lightings, live holiday shows and performances of the Nutcracker, all happening in Westchester.

The Westchester Mall, 125 Westchester Avenue

Santa is welcoming visitors at the Westchester Mall. If your little ones are scared to sit for a photo (I don’t have a single picture of any of my 3 with Santa—they just won’t go for it!), they can still gawk and enjoy the magic of seeing Santa in person from the floors above. Pets can join in the fun also with Pet Photo Nights on November 25 and December 16. Santa is located on Retail Level 1, Center Court.
