There’s nothing quite like North Hills during the holidays.

The tree is lit, the stores are stocked with seasonal goodies, and a festive atmosphere fills the air.

We recently spent an afternoon in the beautifully decorated district, shopping, sipping, nibbling, and snapping photos with everyone’s favorite jolly gift-giver. Here’s all the fun we had:

🍷 First stop: Toasting the season

Our visit began with drinks at Foxcroft, because is it even the holidays without a toast or two? We don’t think so.

Their friendly team helped us choose wines from their excellent collection to go with our charcuterie bites.

❄️ Next stop: North Pole

Then, it was off to meet with the man in red in North Hills’ new “Santa Town.”

The space felt like a winter wonderland — with every inch decked in holiday decor — and the entire experience was a blast.

Santa and his helpers were fun and playful, and we laughed and chatted while the photographer worked her magic. Bonus: Santa told us that we both made the “Nice List” (thank goodness).

💝 Wrapping up with gifts

Finally, we ended our perfect day strolling through shops for local finds for our gift list, including stops at Quail Ridge Books and Paperbuzz.

No spoilers, but we found some truly stunning items. Book your own Santa visit this way, or check out our reel from the fun-filled afternoon below.
