Phil’s first listed 2026 appearance is Saturday, Nov. 21. The mascot meet-and-photo runs on weekends from 1–4 p.m.; the listing does not give a separate final appearance date.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
The useful distinction for planning is that Phil’s visit is a greeting-and-photo stop within a full market day, not a scheduled stage performance. If meeting the mascot is your priority, plan around the afternoon window rather than Christmas Village’s longer hours.
Christmas Village’s listing invites visitors to greet Phil the Reindeer, take pictures and give him a high-five. It describes an informal mascot encounter, not a separate performance with a stage schedule.
Phil’s first listed appearance is Saturday, Nov. 21, 2026, and the listing places him at the market on Saturdays and Sundays from 1–4 p.m. It does not identify a final appearance date, so the market’s Dec. 27 closing date should not be taken as confirmation that Phil will be there that day.
