Skeena Mall is making some changes for the 2025 holiday season. The popular December craft fair will not be held this year due to limited space. For local crafters, the event has traditionally been one of the largest sales opportunities of the year. Shoppers, especially those visiting from out of town, will need to look elsewhere for unique handmade gifts.
The craft fair also draws crowds that often continue shopping throughout the mall, so merchants may see a change in foot traffic and holiday sales. Stores that usually benefit from the extra shoppers and the festive energy of the fair may experience a quieter shopping period this December.
In addition, photos with Santa will not be available, as the seasonal favorite is unavailable. Families who typically capture these holiday moments will need to adjust their plans, and the mall’s atmosphere will feel slightly different without this traditional highlight.
Despite these changes, Skeena Mall remains a hub for holiday shopping. Regular store hours and seasonal promotions continue, offering opportunities to find gifts and enjoy the festive season. Both the craft fair and Santa photos are expected to return in December 2026, restoring the full holiday experience for crafters, families, and shoppers alike.
