If you’re making your list and checking it twice, be sure to check out what’s in store at Miami-Dade County’s largest outlet and retail value shopping center this holiday season. Dolphin Mall is celebrating the start of the winter holidays by teaming up with Jackson Health System to host its annual “Photos with Santa” event, beginning Friday Nov. 18 through Christmas Eve, Dec. 24.

Then, starting Wednesday, Nov. 23 through Jan. 8, Dolphin Mall will once again transform into a Magical Winter Wonderland for children of all ages to enjoy when its renowned snowfall shows return for the holiday season.

Annual Magical Winter Wonderland

“It is a special time of the year at Dolphin Mall when we launch the Magical Winter Wonderland,” said Madelyn Bello Calvar, director of Marketing and Sponsorship for the mall. “It’s one of our most beloved traditions, and we look forward to welcoming families from across South Florida to celebrate with us.”

This year marks the 18th year the mall has celebrated its magical snowfall event. 

Fifteen minutes before each show begins, Dolphin Mall will give away magic wands to children under the age of 12 (while supplies last). At the start of each snowfall, kids can wave their wands to help unleash the snowstorm and create a glistening winter wonderland. 

The magical snowfall will take place at the Ramblas Plaza nightly at 7 p.m., with an additional show at 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
