This past December 13th, Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown was filled with holiday magic as families, friends, and even furry companions joined us for our Holiday Photos with Santa event! From 10 AM to 1 PM, the dealership was transformed into a cozy winter wonderland, buzzing with laughter, festive cheer, and plenty of memorable moments. ❄️✨ Guests enjoyed special photo moments with Santa, capturing smiles from little ones and even their four-legged friends dressed in festive ugly Christmas sweaters. The hot chocolate bar and seasonal treats were a big hit, keeping everyone warm and full of holiday spirit as they explored the activities around the dealership. ☕️ One of the highlights of the day was the presence of Yorkie 911 Rescue, who brought adorable pups looking for their forever homes. Guests loved meeting the dogs, learning about rescue efforts, and many left with their hearts full - some even finding their perfect match to adopt. 🐶 The fun didn’t stop there! Families dove into DIY holiday stocking activities, creating personalized keepsakes to take home. The indoor snowball area brought laughter and friendly competition for kids of all ages, and our Ugly Christmas Sweater contest had everyone showing off their holiday spirit - with winners walking away with Maui Jim Sunglasses. The raffle baskets supporting Yorkie 911 Rescue were also a hit, giving guests a chance to win fun prizes while supporting a great cause! Alongside the festive fun, attendees also had the opportunity to take advantage of special seasonal offers, including a first payment waiver up to $750 on any new lease or purchase and complimentary pre-paid maintenance on select models, adding even more excitement to the event.
