My favorite time of the year is flying by! Halloween, gone spooky fast and Thanksgiving left me waddling from all the dinner servings I had! And as we gear up for Christmas, Santa Claus is officially in town and in style!

This is a sponsored blog; while the views expressed here are genuinely mine, consideration was paid to me by Macerich/HGTV’s Santa HQ

HGTV’s Santa’s HQ is revolutionizing the traditional Santa Claus visit. Don’t just wait in line for a cute family pic, instead visitors are immersed through an interactive holiday experience.  The magic of the holidays goes hand-in-hand with the home. HGTV and their partners are the perfect partners for this meaningful holiday experience.

Santa HQ is only available in 15 malls across America and we’re lucky enough to have one nearby in Lakewood! The Elf Academy includes the Magic Mirror where guests can transform into one of Santa’s little helpers, and create a customized Elf ID.

You can also take control of Santa’s Sleigh, find out if you’ve made it to the “naughty or nice” list, treat your dog to “Yappy Hour” (offered Tuesday evenings at Lakewood Mall), and of course take family pictures with Santa! I’m so shocked at how cute our Christmas card photo is this year. Our dog, Halley is not one to pose for a photo, and she was the “nicest” dog for Santa.

Wishing you an amazing Holiday Season! Excited to see all of your family Holiday pictures!
