Colonie Center Has Pics With Santa – Mall Hours Announced

It's a glimmer of normalcy in anticipation of the Christmas holiday that Colonie Center announced that you will be able to get your picture taken with Santa Claus. They also announced their holiday shopping hours. Here are the details. It is something that we may have taken for granted before 2020. Many people probably figured that getting your child's picture taken with Santa was a thing of the past. But Colonie Center announced that they will be giving families the opportunity to take pictures this year with St. Nick.

According to News 10 ABC, Colonie Center is making it possible for pictures with Santa Claus this holiday season. There will be social-distancing protocols in place and it will be a bit different this year. Look for the big guy to arrive at Colonie Center outside of LL Bean on Black Friday (November 27th). This year you must reserve a time slot with Santa online. There will be COVID safety protocols in place. Families and kids will be six feet in front of Santa and kids can share their wishlists from a safe distance as well. Masks are required by all guests and Santa too. To reserve your picture time slot click HERE.
