ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. (WXYZ) — If Santais on your holiday to do list, The Village of Rochester Hills is getting ready for his big arrival.
Santa will be making his grand entrance to the outdoor shopping and dining destination on November 20.
Free walk-up visits will take place at the "Santa's Snug" pop up in Festival Park through December 24.
