BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Santa Claus is hard at work at the North Pole, but he's taking time from his busy schedule to make an appearance at the Fox Theater on Monday, Dec. 10.
Jolly Old St. Nicholas and his elves will be available to meet with families, take photos and hear all the kids' Christmas wishes before the theater's showing of The Polar Express.
To get into the Christmas spirit, theater staff will hand out free hot chocolate to anyone that brings in his or her favorite mug and is dressed in comfortable pajamas.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the movie will get underway at 7 p.m.
Tickets cost $5 and can be purchased at the box office or online .
