Reserve a spot to see Santa at Woodfield

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. -- Santa arrived at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg on Thursday. But this year there is a holiday twist!

Parents can pay $10 to reserve a place in line for a photo with Old St. Nick. This allows parents to do some holiday shopping without having to wait in that long line.

The $10 fee goes toward a photo package, but it's non-refundable if a parent fails to show. Ner fear, it's still free to see Santa. The fee simply allows you to skip the line.

To make an appointment online, go to woodfieldmall.fullslate.com.

The WCL hosts weighed in on the new option to see Santa and Val shared why she loves the idea.
