Of course, the start of the holiday season means Santa will be at the mall to meet with children! Skip the line by making reservations to see Santa. Shoppers can also adopt an angel from the Salvation Army Angel Tree. You can choose a child or senior from the tree and buy a gift for them to enjoy the holiday season. And, don’t forget, you can valet park at The Woodlands Mall so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot.
MARKET STREET
Market Street will have Santa Claus on the property on Black Friday to greet young guests, be sure to make an appointment with Santa so you don't miss out on a photo with him.
