A note to parents from Hollister Village Plaza...

A big thank you to all of the residents of Goleta for supporting Hollister Village Plaza during the tough times of 2020. As the holidays approach, we understand that the season may be a little different this year due to the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The goal is to allow children and families to still experience the joy of the season and to spread some holiday cheer - and we hope to do so as safely as possible for our guests, our staff, and Santa himself. We will be updating this page with more and more details as we get closer to the date to provide you with as much information as possible.

This event will strictly follow all of California's and Santa Barbara County's recommended guidelines and rules regarding COVID-19. Below are some of the practices and measures we will have in place:
  • Masks will be required for all guests waiting to take photos with Santa. You will have the option to take off the masks for photos, or keep it on, depending on your preference. 
  • Santa will be placed 6 feet behind where children will sit in front of him for photos. All surfaces will be sanitized and cleaned thoroughly after each family takes their photos. Visits will be contactless, meaning families will have no physical contact with Santa or staff. They will be able to say hello and chat for a few moments before the photo is done.
  • Children will have the option to write letters to Santa beforehand, and will be provided brand new pencils that they get to take home. Santa will have a mailbox for you to drop off letters for him to take back to the North Pole. Like above, all surfaces will be sanitized and cleaned thoroughly after each child is done writing their letter. 
  • Social distancing markers will be placed outside for families waiting in line to take photos.
