Dreamworks Adventure To Santa

Dreamworks Adventure to Santa at Victoria Gardens

A post written by Contributor Jennifer Stinnett on behalf of Dreamworks Adventure To Santa.

Sponsored EVENT

Living in the Inland Empire we tend to travel to Orange County or LA to attend “special events”, so when I heard that Victoria Gardens was going to be the home for the Dreamworks Adventure to Santa I was thrilled beyond belief. I knew that this was a unique holiday experience that my family could not miss. Last weekend I had the opportunity to take my 5 year old daughter and her friends, ages 5 and 9 to see Santa. Instead of the long standing tradition of visiting Santa at local malls this FREE interactive Santa adventure takes you on a 15 minute unforgettable journey to the North Pole to find Santa, with Shrek and his friends leading the way. Say goodbye to standing in the traditional mall lines, families are required to make a reservation to see Santa and enjoy this special experience.

Getting Ready For The Holidays with Minted | @Minted

Sponsored Post

Once we hit the month of November, it’s time time to start thinking about our annual holiday cards we send off to family and friends. This year, I’ve already picked out coordinating outfits for the kiddos, but before I shoot the pictures, I wanted to check out the card options for setting, style and photography ideas. I’ve noticed a few friends have been sharing their love for Minted holiday cards via social media channels, which prompted me to take a peek myself.
