But Not All Are Ready to Say Goodbye to In-Person Visits
Not all malls are saying no to in-person Santa visits, though. Ali Slocum, a spokeswoman for Simon Property Group, the biggest mall owner in the U.S., told USA Today that Santa would be available live.
“Santa is coming to a Simon shopping center near you,” Slocum said.
The AP reports that some big mall owners are also going ahead with in-person visits but will ban kids from sitting on Santa’s lap and make sure they stay six feet away from him.
