Dear Mall Santa: Tips for an Accessible Holiday


Listen Later

It’s the most chaotic—and potentially magical—time of year. In this holiday episode of Driven by Purpose, the team unpacks how stressful mall visits can be for families of people with disabilities, especially when meeting Santa.

They share heartfelt stories, hilarious mall mishaps, and practical tips for Santa’s helpers and allies alike. From wheelchair jousting to grabbing Santa’s beard, this one’s both funny and full of purpose.

We explore:

▫️ The hidden stress of visiting Santa with a disabled child

▫️ Why families often avoid crowded holiday events altogether

▫️ How Santa’s helpers can make or break a child’s experience

▫️ Simple ways to create a more inclusive and thoughtful holiday season

▫️ What it means to feel seen, included, and celebrated during the holidays
