I made two goals for myself this holiday season. First, I am trying to soak up all Fairfield County has to offer! And my second goal is to create special family memories with my three daughters. The SoNo Collection helped me accomplish both!
The SoNo Collection is all-encompassing. I can shop, eat, and play all in one stop! They have a wide variety of stores that offer the perfect gifts for all my friends and family (Nordstrom, Apple, Sephora, Bloomingdales, and Camp). They also have an incredible holiday lineup!
The SoNo Collection Holiday Cheer runs from November 26 – January 1, Fridays – Sundays, 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. There are many FREE festive activities and entertainment for your whole family to enjoy. Throw the kids in the car and head down for some merriment and cheer!
The SoNo Collection is beautifully decorated; it is really a sight to see. You can get lost in the lights, colors, and beautiful sounds to match. There are live performances by the Norwalk Symphony and DJ mixed holiday tunes. Then, just as you are in a trance from the stunning décor, bam! A stilt-walker strolls by!
Personally, if I am headed to the mall during the holidays, I am banking on a photo with Santa! The SoNo Collection delivers; Selfies with Santa are available on Level 3 near CAMP. It was so fun snapping an image with the big man himself on my phone (and then blasted to all my family), and Mrs. Claus was there too! Just note – he is only there Friday through Sunday!
I think my favorite part of the afternoon was the Holiday Bells Grove™. I never got the chance to see it last year, but it is quite a sight! When you walk by, your movements will ring bells, and lights will shine bright! It was so breathtaking and mesmerizing!
The SoNo Collection Holiday Cheer is so magical. They did a beautiful job creating a memorable holiday experience for shoppers of any age. Whether you are seven months old in the stroller or 70 years old shopping for grandchildren, SoNo Collection will impress and warm your heart for the holiday season!
I also want to note that the Ho Ho SoNo is an exciting interactive holiday event featuring seven activations to be enjoyed at your leisure that is put on by the Norwalk Conservatory. From ornament making and cookie decorating to learning the dreidel game, there is something for everyone! It runs from December 10-12, 17-24, and December 26. Tickets: Adults $20, Kids $15 (under 2, Free). Tickets can be purchased here!
