The holiday season is bringing festive celebrations, shopping deals and opportunities to give back at Golden Triangle Mall in Denton.

From visits with Santa and holiday markets to Black Friday promotions and community events, North Texas families have plenty of reasons to stop by throughout November and December. And with a mix of national retailers and more than 20 locally owned and operated stores, shoppers can find gifts for everyone while supporting businesses in their community.

What holiday events can families look forward to?

The festivities kick off on Nov. 21 with Santa's arrival at the mall's center court. Families can visit Santa and take holiday photos through Dec. 24.

Additional holiday activities include:

  • Nov. 28: Santa’s Market with over 40 unique, local vendors, plus portraits with Santa and Mrs. Claus taken by Hart and Guin Photography.

  • Nov. 29: Mrs. Claus will visit the mall from noon-6 p.m.

Beyond the traditional holiday celebrations, Golden Triangle Mall will also host a special tribute honoring American history and military service. From Dec. 11-13, the Texas Veterans Hall of Fame, located inside the mall, will present a traveling tribute wall commemorating the 85th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

The exhibit, secured through the efforts of Gary Steele, will give visitors an opportunity to reflect on the events of Dec. 7, 1941 and honor those who served.
