Shoppers at the Albertville Premium Outlets this weekend will have a chance to visit with Santa and his (live) reindeer friends! The event is slated for this Saturday and Sunday (December 2nd and 3rd) from 10 a.m. to Noon.

Photos with Santa and his antlered friends will be free. Santa will be setting up shop in the Center Court, near Market Hall. In addition to the main man himself, the event also offers "complimentary candy canes, warm beverages and shopping to check off every gift on your list."

Photos with Santa can be expensive- they start at $40 at Crossroads- so this is a good chance to get that photo taken for free before setting out on your epic outlet mall shopping trip.

Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Maybe this clip from the greatest Christmas movie of all time, Jingle All the Way, will help!
