It's the holidays, Gwinnett, and you know what that means.
"Family members engaging in politically driven verbal fisticuffs, scaring the kids and ruining an otherwise charming evening of poultry-centered kinship?"
Well, um, yeah. There is that. But we were going for something a little merrier: Because it's also time to get those photos with Santa Claus.
But when can the kiddos meet the Jolly Old Elf, you ask? And where?
Find below a complete list of dates and times for Santa Claus visits at Gwinnett County's two most popular shopping centers, Sugarloaf Mills and the Mall of Georgia.
Also note that you can schedule appointments at the latter — because ain't nobody got time for lines.
MALL OF GEORGIA
