Pet Pictures with Santa at St. Louis Outlet Mall

St. Louis’ children won’t be the only ones getting a chance to sit on Santa’s lap this year.

Santa is coming to the St. Louis Outlet Mall to take pictures with pets too!  

For the first time ever, the St. Louis Outlet Mall will host Pet Nights, two days in December where local pet owners can bring their house pets to sit on Santa’s lap and take holiday pictures – all for a good cause.  

Pet owners can get a free 5x7 photo of their pet with Santa with purchse of a package. Donations will benefit Stray Rescue of St. Louis. 

"It’s a free 5x7 with purchase of a package and a donation of $5 to Stray Rescue," said Julia Bishop-Cross, a spokesperson for the mall. "To just buy an extra 5x7 would be $8, so basically you’re getting $3 off of the 5x7."

Stray Rescue will also have adoptable dogs on hand to meet potential new families.
