Nov 28, 2023 11:18AM ● By Braden Nelsen

DAVIS COUNTY—All over the world Jolly Old Saint Nicholas will be making appearances this December before his big international flight the night of the 24th. With many special appearances already in the books, there are still plenty of places you can get a picture with that jolly old elf, and drop off a list or two.

Station Park

Santa Claus will be busy this year at Station Park. If you missed his arrival Nov. 24, you can still swing by Station Park and visit him Nov. 25 through Dec. 24. While walk-ins are allowed, reservations are strongly encouraged. Photos with Santa Claus and pets will also be available. 

Kris Kringle will also be making an appearance for breakfast at Twigs Bistro at Station Park Dec. 9 and 10. Reservations are required for this appearance.

Layton Hills Mall

One of Santa’s favorite spots, Layton Hills Mall, will feature a traditional meet and greet with Mr. Claus through December, and, like Station Park, while reservations are not required, they are encouraged. Pets are also welcome at specific times and dates throughout the month.
