Potomac Mills extends hours, plans Santa events for Christmas season

One of the region’s largest shopping destinations will stay open later to cater to holiday shoppers, as well as hold a breakfast with military families, as pet photos with Santa events.

The mall will be open overnight Thanksgiving into  Black Friday. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Thanksgiving Day and will remain open until 10 p.m. the following day, Black Friday.

The mall will also extend its hours afterward, staying open an hour later, until 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and closing at 8 p.m. on Sundays.

The mall tells us it has multiple events planned:

Military Families Breakfast with Santa: Potomac Mills invites military families to enjoy a special Breakfast with Santa on December 5, 2019 from 8:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m. in the Food Court. Families will receive an additional military discount on photos with Santa as well as a keepsake item for the kids to take home. The event welcomes active duty, guard and veteran families from all branches of the Military. ID and registration are required for this event. Families can register online.

Caring Santa: Provides children with all spectrums of special needs and their families with the opportunity to visit with Santa in a sensory-friendly environment. Caring Santa will occur in association with Autism Speaks before regular mall hours on December 1, 2019 from 9:00 a.m.-10:30 a.m. Guests can reserve their appointment online.

Pet Photo Night: An opportunity for all members of the family, pet and human, to visit with Santa. Pet Photo nights are hosted after regular mall hours on December 8, 2019 from 6:30 p.m.- 8:30 p.m. and the set receives extensive cleaning following the event to minimize potential risks to allergy sufferers. Registration is optional, but to guarantee a time slot, guests are welcome to reserve a time online.

Santa has already arrived at Potomac Mills, and the mall urges those coming to see him to make an appointment online before heading to the mall.

The mall is located at 2700 Potomac Mills Circle in Woodbridge.

*An earlier version of this post incorrectly stated the mall would open at 10 a.m. Thanksgiving Day. A Potomac Mills spokeswoman provided the incorrect information to Potomac Local in a press release.
