Calling all of Santa’s little helpers!  With the holiday season upon us, SOCO + The OC Mix invites children and families to celebrate with the center’s annual Holidays by Design event series. Saturdays,beginning  November 30 through December 21, families are invited to enjoy a variety of festive activities while shopping.  Activities include Holiday Storytime with Mrs. Claus, a complimentary, winter wonderland-themed photo booth for children and families, live holiday music from local performers, and more!

STORYTIME WITH MRS. CLAUS
Little ones will have an opportunity to join a very special Holiday Storytime session located inside the OC Mix at the entrance between Rich Elixirs and Temakira from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. featuring Mrs. Claus herself!  Each week, Mrs. Claus will read a different children’s storybook followed by an arts & crafts session where kids will create a special take-home memory that relates to the story.
Holiday Storytime is FREE with RSVP online. 

PHOTO BOOTH
A pop-up photo booth will be located inside the OC Mix where guests can take beautiful holiday photos in front of a seasonal backdrop (complete with props that are perfect for this jolly time of year).  The photo booth will open at 11:00 a.m. each Saturday and close at 2:00 p.m.

Performers inside the OC Mix will play live music from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. which shoppers can enjoy while indulging in treats and holiday drinks while they cross off items from their shopping lists.
