- A team of elves will clean all surfaces between visits.
- All team members in the store will wear face coverings.
- The other in-store activities an crafts won’t be taking place, but there will be a free take-home craft.
Families are invited to a socially distanced tailgate event in designated parking spots with a free outdoor parade featuring giveaways, Christmas carols, hot cocoa and magical fun building up to the arrival of the big guy himself.
