The merriest time of year is here, and North Hills has once again transformed into a winter wonderland of glittering lights, festive decor, and, most importantly, some of the best seasonal shopping in the city.

With a blend of local bizes and new arrivals, chic boutiques and beloved national brands, the cozy district is the perfect place to find gifts for every name on your list — and maybe even a treat (or two, but who’s counting?) for yourself.

But the magic doesn’t have to end when you get home.

North Hills’ wildly popular “12 Days of North Hills Christmas” Giveaway returns to Instagram today for 12 days of fabulous free gifts from neighborhood shops, spas, and eateries.

All you have to do is follow and enter.

Pro tip: Keep an eye on the North Hills website for gift inspiration and upcoming festive events, like the Winter Farmer’s Market.
