If you’ve ever read a blog post from me, or follow me on social media, or spent 5 minutes with me in real life – you already know that I’m an elf at heart. I fully embrace the whimsy in life, teach my daughter to believe in magic always, and am a total junkie for all things glitter and sparkle. So, I LOOOOOOOVE Christmas time! We always like to make the most of the holiday season by checking out all of the fun local events and parades and shows, to really celebrate this magical time of year. This year, we’re super excited to be buddying up with my blogging bestie – Alison, from Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, and our little girls, to head over to Santa’s Toy Factory at the Clackamas Mall!! I keep hearing that line from the movie Elf – “Santa Claus is coming to town…” :) So – if you’re like me, and Buddy the Elf, and smiling is YOUR favorite too, I’ve got something awesome to bring smiles to everyone’s faces, check it out….

Here’s a bit more about Santa’s Toy Factory:
Santa’s Toy Factory is designed to empower creativity through an interactive, immersive experience to meet Santa. Within the 1,600 square-foot space, young guests will have the opportunity to “test” new toys in Santa’s Factory before they get delivered to all the boys and girls on Christmas morning. After they “test” the toys, they visit different stations to digitally design, build and paint toys from Mattel’s iconic brands including Barbie®, Hot Wheels®, and Thomas & Friends™.. The grand finale, of course, will be meeting Santa himself for photos and to share their holiday wish list.
“We are proud to be partnering with Mattel to bring this new, one-of-a-kind holiday concept to life,” said Dennis Curtis, general manager of Clackamas Mall. “We are always looking for ways to introduce new brands and experiences to our community and can’t wait to showcase Santa’s Toy Factory this holiday season. We know our guests will embrace it.”
The experience with Santa’s Toy Factory is free-of-charge and photo packages begin at $39.99. To make reservations to ensure quicker access, please click HERE. If you’d like more information, please visit www.VisitSantasToyFactory.com. Clackamas Mall is located at 12000 S.E. 82nd Ave and is home to a plethora of high-quality tenants including Bath & Body Works, Nordstrom and Sephora.

That looks so wonderful! I love all the lights and colors. I would love to be there. I LOVE all things Christmas.
Such wonderful and festive events! Cheers for Mattel for bringing the holidays to Clackamas.
This sounds like such a great holiday event! I can’t wait to follow along to see how it was!
Santa’s workshop looks like so much fun and great holiday place to visit. I would love to bring my son to test out the Mattel toys and maybe even get a family photo with Santa.
Well that would be fun to see! I will have to see if they have anything like this around where I live! I know the kiddos would love to see!
I think we have something like this in our neck of the woods, and I’m looking forward to going! I love that these places have started inviting families out to have some pre-holiday fun! It’s a good way to get the wiggles out!
This looks like it would be so much fun. We love Christmas time. I have friends that live in this area. I will have to share this with them.
This looks amazing. This would be so lovely to be able to see. I wish I were closer so that I could actually see it.
What an awesome experience for the kiddos! Looks like a fun day.
Testing out the toys will be so fun for the kids! Going home with some photos for the family album will be great too.
Santa’s Toy Factory is so over the top awesome! I would want to visit there every day if I were a kid. It looks like everything a Christmas event should be.
It sounds like it’s going to be magical times for the kids. I do love the holidays and all of the fun that comes with them
This is such a great new take on visiting Santa at the mall! I know a few kids who would love to get their hands on those toy testing stations!
So cool! I know my kids would love a toy testing station. What a fun way to visit Santa.
That looks like so much fun! My kids always want to try out the toys in the packages, I think they would love this!
That’s so cool! I wish our mall did something like that. Ours is lucky to have any Santa show up for the holidays…
Sounds like a truly amazing event. I love the Holiday season and trying to get to all the different events to make the winter months as fun as possible.
