Santa needed Mrs Claus at the North Pole earlier than expected to help with production, so she had to cancel the tea event scheduled for Saturday.
Town Tip Thursday, A WHAT MATTERS Initiative
HIGH TEA with MRS. CLAUS!
This announcement can’t wait for Thursday, and spreading holiday cheer can’t wait for December! Bring the children for an event to remember with Mrs. Santa Claus this Saturday, October 27th, and enjoy high tea at the Vine & Leaf in Royal Plaza shopping center!

Wear a ladies hat from the collection or try on some beads and boas to complete the feel of this high tea experience. Bring your Christmas wish list and have it reach Santa by special courier! Have your picture taken with Mrs. Claus – right before she returns to the North Pole to help with the holiday preparations!
