SantaB次元官网网址檚 back at Uptown, and heB次元官网网址檚 brought cookies.
The Santa-approved Christmas Cottage is now open for business on the main plaza of Uptown shopping centre. It was recently assembled in the Cowichan Valley and was shipped in.
While mall Santas pop up all over the continent, UptownB次元官网网址檚 has a unique approach. The visit is booked and prepaid online, so there is no lineup, and each family has 10 minutes with the man in the red suit. There are candy canes, if youB次元官网网址檙e so inclined, but the photo is only shared digitally.
The model was especially helpful for 4-year-old Evelyn ZhangB次元官网网址檚 two-and-a-half-year-old sister, Chloe, who took a few minutes to warm up to the idea of a photo with the big fella.
Without the lineup, and the privacy of the cottage, the kids can get used to the environment, itB次元官网网址檚 less stressful, said Trisha Lees, public relations for Uptown.
Bookings are already running into December. Interested families can register at .
