Clark County residents can still take pictures with Santa this holiday season, despite the COVID-19 pandemic canceling some more traditional photos with Santa.

Because of the pandemic, the Upper Valley Mall in Springfield will not offer photos with Santa. Instead, residents can now take a free photo at the ‘Santa Selfie Wall.’

The wall is located behind the Christmas Tree at the mall and features a photo of Santa with the words ‘Happy Holidays.’

The mall will be closed on Thanksgiving but will be open for extended hours on Nov. 7, Dec. 4, 5, 6 and 7 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
