Forget the North Pole vs. Whoville rivalry—this year, Santa Claus and the Grinch are putting their differences aside for a good cause in Center City. The dynamic (and slightly chaotic) holiday duo is returning to The Shops at Liberty Place for Selfies for a Cause, offering Philadelphians a unique photo opportunity that’s guaranteed to be a holiday card conversation starter.
On Saturday, December 6, and Saturday, December 13, 2025, from Noon to 5:00 PM, guests can pose with the two holiday personalities in front of the city’s majestic 45-foot indoor Christmas tree.
Why The Grinch is Smiling
The goal of this festive pairing is simple: raise money for the Morris Animal Refuge, Philadelphia’s oldest animal shelter. Entry is a $10 donation, and The Shops at Liberty Place will match up to $1,500 each day. Even the Grinch’s heart is guaranteed to grow three sizes when he sees the funds pouring in for local pets.
The event is famously dog-friendly, allowing pups to join their human friends, families, and co-workers in the festive line for an extra dose of holiday chaos and charity.
