I’m walking through Westfield Old Orchard in Skokie just two days before Christmas, around 8pm, when the stores are still open and the holiday energy is in full swing.
It’s about 32 degrees outside — not that cold by Chicago standards, but just enough to make it feel truly Christmasy. One of the things that makes Old Orchard so special is that it’s an outdoor shopping mall, which is pretty unique in the Chicagoland area. Instead of long indoor corridors, you’re walking outside under holiday lights, bundled up, with music, decorations, and storefronts glowing at night.
I’ve been coming here since I was a teenager, long ago. Over the years, stores have changed, brands have come and gone, but the ambiance feels the same. That familiar layout, the open-air paths, and the seasonal decorations bring back memories every time I visit.
A fun historical note: Old Orchard opened in 1956 and was one of the earliest open-air shopping centers in the United States — a concept that still defines it today. During the holidays, they also host a Santa photo experience, a classic tradition for families (yes, with a cost), but one that adds to the timeless Christmas feel of the mall.
If you enjoy relaxing retail walks, Chicago-area nostalgia, or Christmas vibes, I hope this video brings a bit of that feeling to you.
Thanks for watching, and enjoy the ambiance.
