The Village at Meridian Spreads Holiday Cheer
The Village at Meridian is keeping the holidays magical in 2020
Meridian, Idaho (November 11, 2020) – The sights and sounds of the holidays are beginning again at The Village at Meridian! The halls are decked with beautiful Christmas décor with the most magical 50-foot holiday tree in Fountain Square. Though things will look a little bit different this year, The Village is determined to keep the holidays magical in 2020!
No-Contact Santa Visits
Photos with Santa are a family tradition for so many. This year, some necessary changes and innovations have been put in place to protect the public and Santa. There will be two chairs separated by a console farmers table with plexiglass in the middle in order to protect guests and Santa while still creating a beautiful photo in Santa’s House. There will be no line for Santa this year! Guests are asked to sign up online at TheVillageAtMeridian.com events page where you can also find more information about when Santa will be in his house. Touchless point of sales will be available for ordering photos from mobile devices.
For guests who are not quite ready for an in-person visit with Santa, The Village at Meridian is offering virtual Santa visits from November 27 through Christmas Eve as another fun, interactive moment. These five-minute video calls will be recorded and available for download as memory keepsakes. To sign up, visit The Village at Meridian website to reserve a space between 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Each session includes a five-minute recorded video call for $24.95.
Next to Santa’s house in Fountain Square, children will find a magical mailbox to place their letters and wish lists to Santa. Parents can find the letter stationary online or by visiting the concierge desk. Be sure to drop letters into Santa’s mailbox and include a return address to get a reply from Santa sent to your home! Parents are encouraged to include special fun facts in the letters to surprise the children with personalized letters from Santa this holiday season.
