He will ride around the mall's perimeter accompanied by the Montgomery Township Police Department and mall security officers.

Radio Disney and costumed characters will keep guests entertained at the mall's Sears Court until 8 p.m. Santa will be available to visit and get photos taken with local families and children throughout the holiday season.

The mall will also launch a Tweet Your Holiday Wish List to Santa program on Nov. 5. Parents are welcome to sit down with their kids and tweet Santa their child's holiday wish list.
