Hot chocolate and treats will be provided and carolers will be in attendance as well.
If you’re unable to make the event, Santa will also be available for photos from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday at local home decor and gift shop The Little White Cottage, located at 1265 Wyoming Ave.
Santa’s appearence is part of the shop’s Small Business Saturday lineup, that also includes 40% off one item, a free Christmas candle to the first 12 customers who spend $50 or more and a raffle entry to those who spend $25 or more.
According to a social media post, kids are welcome to bring their letters for Santa to place in his special mailbox.
Santa will provide treats and the The Cocktail Cruiser of NEPA will sell assorted chocolates.
