Santa Returns to Malls Across Four States
Santa is returning to malls across the country for the 2026 holiday season, with appearances and photo opportunities planned at shopping centers in West Virginia, Kentucky, Nashville and West Hartford. Mall events include family activities such as storytime, cookies with Santa and pet photos, while Opry Mills is adding digital greeting cards to select photo packages. In Barboursville, the Huntington Mall’s Santa kickoff also promoted the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle and Angel Tree campaigns, which support community services during the holidays.
