Westfield Montgomery Mall Unfolds A Holly Jolly Lineup of Events This Holiday Season: The citymaking center for shopping, dining, and entertainment, treats the community to Black Friday sales, a Wacky Tacky Sweater Party, photo and cookie decorating opportunities with Santa and more.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year at Westfield Montgomery Mall! The seasonal spirit came alive in the Nordstrom Wing this past weekend at the second annual Home for the Holidays celebration and first-ever 18-foot tree lighting ceremony. Hosted by the Holderness Family known for their signature brand of family comedy and joy, the special event featured an array of live holiday performances alongside sales and giveaways from all throughout the center.

The center has transformed into a winter wonderland with always-on Instagrammable moments at the pop-up Jingle Lounge, Letters to Santa house, the holiday arch and trees, and a snowflake walk through-all installed by local, woman-owned design company, Brightly Ever After. Additional holly jolly events in store this season slated through December, include:
